Understanding Visual Map Formation through Vortex Dynamics of Spin Hamiltonian Models
Understanding Visual Map Formation through Vortex Dynamics of Spin Hamiltonian Models
The pattern formation in orientation and ocular dominance columns is one of the most investigated problems in the brain. From a known cortical structure, we build spin-like Hamiltonian models with long-range interactions of the Mexican hat type. These Hamiltonian models allow a coherent interpretation of the diverse phenomena in the …
