Week 6: Neural Modelling Flashcards
Types of networks
- Logical circuits (localist networks)
- Fully distributed 3-layer neural networks (auto-associative aka attractor, hetero-associative aka feedforward)
- Deep neural 6-layer
- Whole brain
Types of neurons
McCulloch-Pitts
Mean field
Spiking
McCulloch-Pitts neuron
Analogue input
Digital output
Mean field neuron

Analogue output
Spiking neuron
Analogue input
Outputs (analogue) frequency of discrete events
7 constraints on models
1) Integration of modelling at different levels
2) Neuron models
3) Synaptic plasticity
4) Inhibition
5) Network area structure mimics cortical area structure
6) Within-area local connectivity
7) Between-area global connectivity
Jumping links
Allow for reverberation and verbal working memory
Connector hub areas
Cortical assemblies that are local hubs that connect to more distal modules. Like Tiverton
Fast-mapping
New models show that Hebbian learning doesn’t always need repeated exposure to a word
