A possible neural mechanism underlying consciousness based on the pattern processing capabilities of pyramidal neurons in the cerebral cortex.
Journal of theoretical biology August 21, 1994 R D Orpwood
This paper examines a possible neural mechanism underlying the phenomenon of consciousness by exploring the ability of cortical pyramidal cells to process patterns of information. A numerical model of a section of a neuron is described that enables the transient membrane potential distribution to be predicted following inputs to the cell. The neuron model incorporates learning by modelling the...
