Columns are a fundamental feature of cerebral cortex organization, yet the function served by this architecture remains elusive. Here it is proposed that the columnar organization of the cortex serves to maximize diversity of neuronal connections in supragranular cortical layers.
柱状结构是大脑皮层组织的一个基本特征,然而这种结构所发挥的功能仍然难以捉摸。本文提出,皮层的柱状组织有助于使颗粒上层皮质层中神经元连接的多样性最大化。
