Sequential activation of neurons has been observed during various behavioral and
cognitive processes, but the underlying circuit mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here …

What, if anything, is the functional significance of spatial patterning in cortical feature maps?
We ask this question of four major theories of cortical map formation: self‐organizing maps …

S1 somatotopic maps refers to spatial patterns in the functional organization of neuronal
responses in the mammalian primary somatosensory cortex (S1/SI). Here the term …

Tessellations emerge in many natural systems, and the constituent domains often contain
regular patterns, raising the intriguing possibility that pattern formation within adjacent …

We consider the problem of sensorimotor co-ordination in mammals through the lens of
vibrissal touch, and via the methodology of embodied computational neuroscience—using …

Two important stimulus features represented within the rodent barrel cortex are velocity and
angular direction of whisker deflection. Each cortical barrel receives information from …

This project examines the influence of geometry and dynamics on pattern formation in
biological development. Since the work of Turing (1952) it has been known that patterns can …

In turn, GCAL (Bednar 2012; Law et al. 2011) was designed to remove some of the artificial
limitations and biologically unrealistic features of LISSOM:• Automatic homeostatic plasticity …

Self-organising maps can recreate many of the essential features of the known functional
organisation of primary cortical areas in the mammalian brain. According to such models …
