Organization of Brain Tissue: Is the Brain a Noisy Processor?
W. ROSS ADEY · International Journal of Neuroscience · 1972
This paper presents some thoughts on functional organization in cerebral tissue. ‘Spontaneous’ wave and unit firing are considered as essential phenomena in the handling of information. Various models are discussed which have been suggested to describe the pseudorandom behavior of brain cells, leading to a view of the brain as an information processor and its role in learning, memory, remembering and forgetting.
