This study integrates theory and experiment to explain brain structure, function, and dynamics. It emphasizes neural organization principles and their application to cognitive processes like memory and language.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Computational Neuroscience
  • Systems Neuroscience

Background:

  • Brain research requires integrating structural, functional, and dynamic aspects.
  • Szentágothai's modular architectonics, cerebellar microcomplexes, and hippocampal lamellae are key structural concepts.
  • Understanding neural circuits and their spatial relationships is crucial for brain function.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present an integrated account of brain structure, function, and dynamics.
  • To demonstrate how theory and experiment can complement each other in neuroscience.
  • To explore the neural basis of cognitive functions like eye movements, reaching, grasping, and memory.

Main Methods:

  • Decomposition of functions into schemas implemented by neural networks.
