内容説明

In Neural Organization, Arbib, rdi, and Szentgothai integrate structural, functional, and dynamical approaches to the interaction of brain models and neurobiologcal experiments. Both structure-based "bottom-up" and function- based "top-down" models offer coherent concepts by which to evaluate the experimental data. The goal of this book is to point out the advantages of a multidisciplinary, multistrategied approach to the brain.Part I of Neural Organization provides a detailed introduction to each of the three areas of structure, function, and dynamics. Structure refers to the anatomical aspects of the brain and the relations between different brain regions. Function refers to skills and behaviors, which are explained by means of functional schemas and biologically based neural networks. Dynamics refers to the use of a mathematical framework to analyze the temporal change of neural activities and synaptic connectivities that underlie brain development and plasticity--in terms of both detailed single-cell models and large-scale network models.In part II, the authors show how their systematic approach can be used to analyze specific parts of the nervous system--the olfactory system, hippocampus, thalamus, cerebral cortex, cerebellum, and basal ganglia--as well as to integrate data from the study of brain regions, functional models, and the dynamics of neural networks. In conclusion, they offer a plan for the use of their methods in the development of cognitive neuroscience.

目次

  • a functional overview - schema theory and functional neuroscience, schemas for "rana computatrix", schemas for Saccades, schemas for reaching and grasping, representing space and time
  • a dynamical overview - neurodynamical system theory, oscillatory behaviour in neural systems, chaotic behaviour in neural systems - some facts and models, self-organization and the development of the nervous system, learning rules. Part 2 Interacting systems of the brain: the olfactory system - anatomical system, electrical patterns in the olfactory bulb and olfactory cortex, development, learning and memory in the olfactory system
  • hippocampus - anatomical organization, electrical activity patterns, brain states and long-term potentiation, hippocampal function and cognitive maps, hippocampal function and human memory
  • thalamus - nuclei of the thalamus, thalamus and sensory systems, thalamocortical loops and cooperative computation
  • cerebral cortex -structural overview, primary visual cortex - the paradigm of modular architectonics, thalamocortical oscillators, frontoparietal interactions, learning of coordinated behaviours, from action-oriented perception to cognition
  • cerebellum - phylogeny and ontogeny of the cerebellum, structural organization of the cerebellar cortex and nuclei, the cerebellum as a learning machine, cerebellar adaptation of movement generation, the cerebellum and mental activity
  • basal ganglia -structure of the basal ganglia, diseases of the basal ganglia, self-reorganization of the striatum, role of basal ganglia in saccade control, roles of the basal ganglia in motor coordination and learning
  • prospects for a neuroscience of cognition - following the threads - the book in perspective, multiple levels, multiple methodologies and the need for their integration, implications and outlook for cognitive neuroscience. Part 3 Appendices: A - neural simulation language
