Abstract:The mammalian neocortex has a repetitious, laminar structure and performs functions integral to higher cognitive processes, including sensory perception, memory and coordinated motor output, leading to the compelling notion that there exists a fundamental cortical circuit that performs canonical computations. Although a principle of cortical function has not been proven, there have been experimental observations and theoretical works, demonstrating the generality of the circuitry and revealing possible functions of the microcircuit, providing frameworks for how the cortex accomplishes inference, exploration, and prediction, etc. The journal club aims to give an overview of recent evidence and theories of canonical microcircuits and possible computations they perform, and discussions on how testable models relating cortical circuitry and their computational properties could be built.
