Cortex: Statistics and Geometry of Neuronal Connectivity by Valentino Braitenberg

Cortex: Statistics and Geometry of Neuronal Connectivity by Valentino Braitenberg

By means of quantitative analysis of the tissue components in the cortex of the mouse, this book presents an overall picture of the cortical network which is then related to various theories on cortical function. Centering around the idea of a diffuse network in a fairly homogeneous population of excitatory neurons, that of the pyramidal cells, it shows that the whole organisation in the cortical skeleton of pryramidal cells corresponds well with the idea of an associative memory and with the theory of cell assemblies. Provides the reader with information on quantitative neuroanatomy and also on the methods used, in particular those that vary from the norm.

From the reviews of the first edition:
"Textbooks of anatomy are usually extremely boringAnatomy of the Cortex is fascinating!" Network (JOP)
"Braitenberg and Schüz have produced a masterpiece on the neurobiological foundations of cognitive psychology." Contemporary Psychology
