the biology literature, perhaps the bast-articulated modern theories championing the cell assembly view are those of Gunther Palm 1Pa182, IAG071 and Susan Greenfield ISF05, CSG07]. Palm focuses on the dynamics of the formation and interaction assemblies of cortical columns. Greenfield argues that each concept ha
