Types of Connections Flashcards
1
Q
Information flow occurs in different forms in order to….
A
carry out the functions of neural encoding, representation and computation
2
Q
Flow of neural information can be organized into what?
A
Simple series or a distributed processing scheme
3
Q
Which is more common, simple series or distributed?
A
Distributed
- Simple series is less common
4
Q
Distributed processing scheme is….
A
Neurons within an assembly contain multiple connections
- less vulnerable to single component damage due to multiple connections
5
Q
True or False: Simple processing is easily disrupted by damage to a single component.
A
True
6
Q
Why are distributed processing schemes more resilient?
A
they have more than one interconnection, allowing function to continue after single component damage
