论文摘要
本文提出,丘脑是波动激发的位置,其功能是代表动物周围事物的位置。神经元将波浪作为发射器和接收器夫妇夫妇。该波充当当地空间的模拟表示。这对空间的纯神经表示有好处。几条证据支持这一假设。理论上,涉及大脑中有效的贝叶斯推断,以及有关丘脑神经解剖学的经验。在所有物种中,大脑最基本的功能是协调太空运动。仅通过神经射击速率来表示空间中的位置将是复杂且效率低下的。大脑可能以3D波以直接自然的方式代表3D空间
This paper proposes that the thalamus is the site of a wave excitation, whose function is to represent the locations of things around the animal. Neurons couple to the wave as transmitters and receivers. The wave acts as an analogue representation of local space. This has benefits over a purely neural representation of space. Several lines of evidence support this hypothesis; both theoretical, concerning efficient Bayesian inference in the brain, and empirical, concerning the neuro-anatomy of the thalamus. Across all species, the most basic function of the brain is to coordinate movements in space. To represent positions in space only by neural firing rates would be complex and inefficient. It is possible that that the brain represents 3D space in a direct and natural way, by a 3D wave
