A key goal of computational neuroscience is to link brain mechanisms to behavioral
functions. The present article describes recent progress towards explaining how laminar …

The organization of neocortex into layers is one of its most salient anatomical features.
These layers include circuits that form functional columns in cortical maps. A major unsolved …

One of the most exciting and open research frontiers in neuroscience is that of seeking to
understand the functional roles of the layers of cerebral cortex. New experimental …

A key goal of behavioral and cognitive neuroscience is to link brain mechanisms to
behavioral functions. The present article describes recent progress toward explaining how …

How does the brain carry out working memory storage, categorization, and voluntary
performance of event sequences? The LIST PARSE neural model proposes an answer that …

This article describes neural models of attention. Since attention is not a disembodied
process, the article explains how brain processes of consciousness, learning, expectation …

The authors encompass a broad background, from biophysics and electrophysiology to
psychophysics, neurology, and computational vision. However, all the chapters focus on a …

A neural model suggests how horizontal and interlaminar connections in visual cortical
areas V1 and V2 develop within a laminar cortical architecture and give rise to adult visual …

We propose that the specific architecture of the neocortex reflects the organization principles
of neocortical computation. In this paper, we place the anatomically defined concept of …

Churchland and Sejnowski address the foundational ideas of the emerging field of
computational neuroscience, examine a diverse range of neural network models, and …
