Probabilistic models are becoming increasingly important in analysing the huge amount of
data being produced by large-scale DNA-sequencing efforts such as the Human Genome …

We propose that the function of dream sleep (more properly rapid-eye movement or REM
sleep) is to remove certain undesirable modes of interaction in networks of cells in the cerebral …

The broad features of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep are reviewed. Memory storage in
the brain is probably quite unlike that in a digital computer, being distributed, superimposed …

In modern computer design considerable care is taken to arrange the components in such a
way that wiring is kept to a minimum. Certain features of cortical structure-the mappings, …

WE argue that cortical maps, such as those for ocular dominance, orientation and
retinotopic position in primary visual cortex 1 , can be understood in terms of dimension-reducing …
