In the late 1960s and early 1970s David Marr produced three
astonishing papers in which he gave a detailed account of how the
fine structure and known cell types of the cerebellum, hippocampus
and neocortex perform the functions that they do. Marr went on to
become one of the main founders of Computational Neuroscience. In
his classic work 'Vision' he distinguished between the
computational, algorithmic, and implementational levels, and the
three early theories concerned implementation. However, they were
produced when Neuroscience was in its infancy. Now that so much
more is known, it is timely to revisit these early theories to see
to what extent they are still valid and what needs to be altered to
produce viable theories that stand up to current evidence. This
book brings together some of the most distinguished scientists in
their fields to evaluate Marr's legacy. After a general
introduction there are three chapters on the cerebellum, three on
the hippocampus and two on the neocortex. The book ends with an
appreciation of the life of David Marr by Lucia Vaina.
