Arbib | 视频video | | 图书封面 |  | 描述 | Various brain areas of mammals can phyletically be traced back to homologous structures in amphibians. The amphibian brain may thus be regarded as a kind of "microcosm" of the highly complex primate brain, as far as certain homologous structures, sensory functions, and assigned ballistic (pre-planned and pre-pro grammed) motor and behavioral processes are concerned. A variety of fundamental operations that underlie perception, cognition, sensorimotor transformation and its modulation appear to proceed in primate‘s brain in a way understandable in terms of basic principles which can be investigated more easily by experiments in amphibians. We have learned that progress in the quantitative description and evaluation of these principles can be obtained with guidance from theory. Modeling - supported by simulation - is a process of transforming abstract theory derived from data into testable structures. Where empirical data are lacking or are difficult to obtain because of structural constraints, the modeler makes assumptions and approximations that, by themselves, are a source of hypotheses. If a neural model is then tied to empirical data, it can be used to predict results and hence | 出版日期 | Book 1989 | 关键词 | behavior; metabolism; perception; predator; visual information processing; Systems Biology | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4899-0897-1 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4899-0899-5 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4899-0897-1 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media New York 1989 |
