How patterned neural connections can be set up by self-organization
An important problem in biology is to explain how patterned neural connections are set up during ontogenesis. Topographically ordered mappings, found widely in nervous systems, ...
Chaos in the Belousov–Zhabotinskii reaction
Experimental results obtained with the Belousov–Zhabotinskii reaction in a continuous stirred reactor are analyzed in order to distinguish between periodic and chaotic behavior....
Formation of topographic maps and columnar microstructures in nerve fields
Topographic connections are found in many parts of the vertebrate nervous systems, known for example as retinotopy. The self-organizing ability of Hebb type modifiable synapses ...
A marker induction mechanism for the establishment of ordered neural mappings: its application to the retinotectal problem
This paper examines the idea that ordered patterns of nerve connections are set up by means of markers carried by the individual cells. The case of the ordered retinotectal proj...
