Modeling Cortical Plasticity Based on Adapting Lateral Interaction
نویسندگان
چکیده
A neural network model called LISSOM for the cooperative self-organization of a erent and lateral connections in cortical maps is applied to modeling cortical plasticity. After self-organization, the LISSOM maps are in a dynamic equilibrium with the input, and reorganize like the cortex in response to simulated cortical lesions and intracortical microstimulation. The model predicts that adapting lateral interactions are fundamental to cortical reorganization, and suggests techniques to hasten recovery following sensory cortical surgery.

Parallel processing in human audition and post-lesion plasticity
Recent activation and electrophysiological studies have demonstrated that sound recognition and localization are processed in two distinct cortical networks that are each present in both hemispheres. Sound recognition and/or localization may be, however, disrupted by purely unilateral damage, suggesting that processing within one hemisphere may not be sufficient or may be disturbed by the contr...

A self-organizing neural network model for the simultaneous development of topographic receptive elds and lateral interactions in cortical maps is presented. Both aaerent and lateral connections adapt by the same Hebbian mechanism in a purely local and unsupervised learning process. AAerent input weights of each neuron self-organize into hill-shaped prooles, receptive elds organize topographica...

متن کاملEffects of Neonatal C-Fiber Depletion on Interaction between Neocortical Short-Term and Long-Term Plasticity
Introduction: The primary somatosensory cortex has an important role in nociceptive sensory-discriminative processing. Altered peripheral inputs produced by deafferentation or by long-term changes in levels of afferent stimulation can result in plasticity of cortex. Capsaicin-induced depletion of C-fiber afferents results in plasticity of the somatosensory system. Plasticity includes short-term...

Human-induced habitat loss and fragmentation constrains the range of many species, making them unable to respond to climate change by moving. For such species to avoid extinction, they must respond with some combination of phenotypic plasticity and genetic adaptation. Haldane's "cost of natural selection" limits the rate of adaptation, but, although modeling has shown that in very large populat...
