Cell Assemblies
- Cell Assemblies (CAs) are recurrent networks of neurons that represent
(among other things) concepts in the brain.
- CAs account for short and long term memories: the dual trace concept.
- To do this they must also have parallel dual stable states.
- The Cell Assembly (CA) is a larger
structure than the neuron that provides a conceptual bridge between
neurons and the brain.
- We do not really understand how CAs work.
- However as a start, neurons within a CA have higher synaptic strength
then neurons in different CAs.
