Abstract

Understanding the neural basis of mental phenomena, from cognition to psychopathology, remains a significant challenge. Attractor neural networks provide a powerful tool to link psychological descriptions with the physical properties of the brain, described by genetics, molecular biology and cellular structures. Neural patterns depend on physical properties of networks and neurons, while mental states, often described using psychological constructs, depend on patterns of the whole networks. In particular, attractor network simulations show how temporo-spatial processing disorders can be related to properties of networks and individual neurons, and offer a neural interpretation of psychological phenomena.

KeyPhrases
