Connection strategies in neocortical networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study considers the impact of different connection strategies in developing neocortical networks. An adequate connectivity is a requisite for synaptogenesis and the development of synchronous oscillatory network activity during maturation of cortical networks. In a defined time window early in development neurites have to grow out and connect to other neurons. Based on morphological observations we postulate that the underlying mechanism differs from common strategies of unspecific global or small world strategies. We show here that a displaced local connection mode is a very effective approach to connect neurons with minimal costs.

Diluted connectivity in pattern association networks facilitates the recall of information from the hippocampus to the neocortex.
The recall of information stored in the hippocampus involves a series of corticocortical backprojections via the entorhinal cortex, parahippocampal gyrus, and one or more neocortical stages. Each stage is considered to be a pattern association network, with the retrieval cue at each stage the firing of neurons in the previous stage. The leading factor that determines the capacity of this multis...
متن کاملAn efficient solution for management of pre-distribution in wireless sensor networks
A sensor node is composed of different parts including processing units, sensor, transmitter, receiver, and security unit. There are many nodes in a sensor unit. These networks can be used for military, industrial, medicine, environmental, house, and many other applications. These nodes may be established in the lands of enemies to monitor the relations. Hence, it is important to consider conse...
متن کاملTwo Comprehensive Strategies to Prioritize the Capacity Improvement Solutions in Railway Networks (Case Study: Iran)
The aim of this study is to present two comprehensive strategies for prioritizing the capacity improvement solutions in the railway networks. The solutions considered in this study include: promoting to double-track railways, block signaling system, electrification and re-opening the closed stations. The first strategy is based on a local approach, which concentrates on the critical block secti...
متن کاملP15: Hippocampus-Neocortical Communication in Learning
The hippocampus is located in the medial temporal lobe and is a part of the forebrain. It plays a critical role in formation of declared memories. The hippocampus is banana­-shaped and communicates with all parts of neocortex. Reptiles and birds have structures like hippocampus that potentially serve as navigation functions. During the mammalian evolution, the neocortex has a large expansio...
متن کاملEfficient connection strategies in 1D and 2D associative memory models with and without displaced connectivity
This study examines the performance of sparsely connected associative memory models built using a number of different connection strategies, applied to one- and two-dimensional topologies. Efficient patterns of connectivity are identified which yield high performance at relatively low wiring costs in both topologies. Networks with displaced connectivity are seen to perform particularly well. It...
