Decomposing neural circuit function into information processing primitives

Abstract: Cognitive functions arise from the coordinated activity of neural populations distributed over large-scale brain networks. However, it is challenging to understand and measure how specific aspects of neural dynamics translate into operations of information processing, and, ultimately, cognitive functions. An obstacle is that simple circuit mechanisms–such as self-sustained or propagating activity and nonlinear summation of inputs–do not directly give rise to high-level functions. Nevertheless, they already imp… Show more

“…Distinct structural alterations could produce similar changes in primitive information processing operations (the algorithmic level), providing a framework to explain why cognitive comorbidities are shared within and across neurologic disorders. The primitive information processing operations are basic and "prefunctional" but necessary to any cognition-relevant neural computation (Lizier, 2013;Taatgen, 2013;Voges et al, 2022). Whether primitive information processing operations are altered in neurologic disorders is not known.…”
