The aim of this book is to provide insight into the principles of
operation of the cerebral cortex. These principles are key to
understanding how we, as humans, function. There have been few
previous attempts to set out some of the important principles of
operation of the cortex, and this book is pioneering. The book goes
beyond separate connectional neuroanatomical, neurophysiological,
neuroimaging, neuropsychiatric, and computational neuroscience
approaches, by combining evidence from all these areas to formulate
hypotheses about how and what the cerebral cortex computes. As
clear hypotheses are needed in this most important area of 21st
century science, how our brains work, I have formulated a set of
hypotheses about the principles of cortical operation to guide
thinking and future research. The book focusses on the principles
of operation of the cerebral cortex, because at this time it is
possible to propose and describe many principles, and many are
likely to stand the test of time, and provide a foundation for
further developments, even if some need to be changed. In this
context, I have not attempted to produce an overall theory of
operation of the cerebral cortex, because at this stage of our
understanding, such a theory would be incorrect or incomplete.
However, many of the principles described will provide the
foundations for more complete theories of the operation of the
cerebral cortex. This book is intended to provide a foundation for
future understanding, and it is hoped that future work will develop
and add to these principles of operation of the cerebral cortex.
The book includes Appendices on the operation of many of the
neuronal networks described in the book, together with simulation
software written in Matlab.
