Neural Networks and Brain Function

Pattern association memory; autoassociation memory; competitive networks, including self-organizing maps; error-correcting networks - perceptrons, backpropagation of error in multilayer networks, and reinforcement learning algorithms; hippocampus and memory; pattern association in the brain - amygdala and orbitofrontal cortex; cortical networks for invariant pattern recognition; motor systems - cerebellum and basal ganglia; cerebral neocortex.
