Description
Summary:A current challenge in computational neuroscience is to elucidate the role of cortical circuitry in information processing and in generating motor output. Our understanding of the functional significance of specifically organized feedback connections is progressing rapidly as researchers establish the equivalence of theoretical models to biological neural circuits. Modeling studies of different neural structures, along with quantitative comparisons of model performance to biological data, have recently helped to identify the basic features of synaptic connectivity that may play important roles in cortical operations.
