Cognitive Neuroscience: Rewired or Crosswired Brains?
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new study of congenitally blind participants has provided important insights into the neuronal mechanisms of brain reorganization after injury, with implications for our knowledge of other cross-modal phenomena, such as synaesthesia, and for the generation of qualia.

Building machines that adapt and compute like brains
Building machines that learn and think like humans is essential not only for cognitive science, but also for computational neuroscience, whose ultimate goal is to understand how cognition is implemented in biological brains. A new cognitive computational neuroscience should build cognitive-level and neural-level models, understand their relationships, and test both types of models with both bra...
متن کاملModelDB in computational neuroscience education - a research tool as interactive educational media.
ModelDB's mission is to link computational models and publications, supporting the field of computational neuroscience (CNS) by making model source code readily available. It is continually expanding, and currently contains source code for more than 300 models that cover more than 41 topics. Investigators, educators, and students can use it to obtain working models that reproduce published resu...
متن کاملEffects of Dextromethorphan on Depressive- and Cognitive-Associated Behaviors: A Sexually Dimorphic Study
Introduction: We investigated the sexually dimorphic effects of Dextromethorphan (DM) on cognitive and depression-like behaviors as well as on hippocampal histology in rats following acute administration. Methods: Wistar rats of both sexes were treated with 25 or 50 mg/kg of DM for 7 days via intraperitoneal injection. At the end of the administration, behavioral studies were performed on the ...
متن کاملThe Effect of Bisphenol A on the Histological Parameters of Male Rat Prefrontal Area
Background and Objectives: Bisphenol-A (BPA) is a substance used in epoxy resin monomers and polycarbonate plastics. This research focuses on the effect of Bisphenol A on histology alterations in prefrontal cortex (PFC) of rats. Materials and Methods: Thirty male rats were divided into 3 groups: A control group, a placebo group received distilled water intra peritoneal and the experiment group...
متن کاملNavigation and Cognitive Map Formation Using Aperiodic Neurodynamics
Biological brains are saturated with complex dynamics. Artificial neural network models abstract much of this complexity away and represent the computational process of neuronal groups in terms of simple point, and sometimes periodic attractors. But is this abstraction justified? Aperiodic dynamics are known to be essential in the formation of perceptual mechanisms and representations in biolog...
