2 Computational Neuroscience Computational Neuroscience: How does the brain compute?? www.cncr.nl

3 How does the brain compute? Model of the brain before 1890.... (reticular theory) www.cncr.nl

4 How does the brain compute? Superficial layers of the human frontal cortex drawn by Cajal on the basis of Golgi impregnation. The main cell types of the cerebral cortex i.e. small and large pyramidal neurons (A, B, C, D, E) and non pyramidal (F, K) cells (interneurons in the modern nomenclature) are superbly outlined. Santiago Ramón y Cajal (1852-1934) www.cncr.nl
