The aging brain: morphomolecular senescence of cortical circuits.
Retention in the cortical circuits of working memory.
Ascending feedforward connections provide the primary driving inputs that are processed by local cortical circuits.
This would be consistent with relatively unspecialized cortical circuits being calibrated for the computations.
Therefore, there is relatively little support for the proposal that representational knowledge is encoded a priori in the microstructure of cortical circuits.
In addition, the amygdaloid nuclei have extensive connections to reticular and cortical circuits through which they can enhance attention to threatening inputs.
Here the attempt is made to define basic cortical circuits on the basis of quantitative studies of the synaptic connectivity of identified cortical neurons and their molecular dissection.
With regard to hypothesis 1, a failure of localization would result in a much more widespread activation of cortical circuits than in the equivalent healthy infant or child.
In landmark experiments, he rewired the brain to explore how the environment influences the development of cortical circuits.
