Cortical hierarchy, dual counterstream architecture and the importance of top-down generative networks.

Neuroimage January 15, 2021 Julien Vezoli, Loïc Magrou, Rainer Goebel et al.

Hierarchy is a major organizational principle of the cortex and underscores modern computational theories of cortical function. The local microcircuit amplifies long-distance inter-areal input, which show distance-dependent changes in their laminar profiles. Statistical modeling of these changes in laminar profiles demonstrates that inputs from multiple hierarchical levels to their target areas...
