CMSA Room G10 CMSA, 20 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA, United StatesColloquium Speaker: Ila Fiete, MIT Title: Modeling the emergence of complex cortical structure from simple precursors in the brain: maps, hierarchies, and modules Abstract: Modular and hierarchical structures are ubiquitous in the brain. Two distinct hypotheses for such morphogenesis involve genetic specification (the positional information hypothesis) or spontaneous structure emergence from symmetry breaking (the pattern […]
