Biological Neural Networks: the Hierarchical Concept of Brain Function
Biological Neural Networks: the Hierarchical Concept of Brain Function Books
Product Description
“Biological Neural Networks” presents a novel conceptual framework for neurobiology achieved by the application of control theory. This new paradigm provides unifying principles for understanding the functional construction of the nervous system. Konstantin Baev argues forcefully that all hierarchical levels of the nervous system are built according to the same functional principles, which are shown to underlie the highest forms of brain function. Each network hierarchy is structurally and functionally organized in such a way that a lower control system in the nervous system becomes the controlled object for a higher one, and each level of control possesses a develop of behavior of its controlled object.
The book brings together for the first time the fields of neural networks (with its computational capabilities), control theory (with its hierarchical machinery), and neurobiology (with its superfluity of enigmatic physiological functions, such as inborn and bought automatic behavior). The function of the cerebellum, the limbic system, and the cortico-basal ganglia-thalamocortical loops are analyzed within this new hierarchical framework. Clinical applications include an original explanation of Parkinson’s disease and suggested mechanisms of alleviating its symptoms by conducting functional neurosurgical procedures.
Baev writes with an interdisciplinary readership in mind. Neuroscientists, computer specialists and mathematicians, physicists and clinicians devoted to deciphering the way brain works will all find it fascinating and stimulating reading.
