Developmental Models of Functional Maps in Cortex
백세범 대한의용생체공학회 2013 Biomedical Engineering Letters (BMEL) Vol.3 No.4
Functional maps are observed in various areas in the brain ofmany species and are considered as key features that revealthe working mechanism of neural circuits. One particularexample is the orientation preference map in the primaryvisual cortex (V1) in higher mammals, in which neuronsrespond selectively to the orientations of spatial componentsin visual stimuli. This cortical map has been studiedextensively for years because it is thought important tounderstand how sensory information is encoded and decodedin the cortical neural network. An important question raisedis how this map structure is created during early development,which has not been clearly answered for the past decades. Here I introduce the latest model views on this issue todiscuss the developmental mechanism of the orientationpreference maps, and more generally, how the developmentof the functional structure in the nervous system can beunderstood in mathematical model.

Understanding the mechanism of information processing in the human brain remains a unique challenge because the nonlinear interactions between the neurons in the network are extremely complex and because controlling every relevant parameter during an experiment is difficult. Therefore, a simulation using simplified computational models may be an effective approach. In the present study, we developed a general model of neural networks that can simulate nonlinear activity patterns in the hierarchical structure of a neural network system. To test our model, we first examined whether our simulation could match the previously-observed nonlinear features of neural activity patterns. Next, we performed a psychophysics experiment for a simple visual working memory task to evaluate whether the model could predict the performance of human subjects. Our studies show that the model is capable of reproducing the relationship between memory load and performance and may contribute, in part, to our understanding of how the structure of neural circuits can determine the nonlinear neural activity patterns in the human brain.
