Systems - Background. In the past years a new aspect of brain research received more and more attention.
"Computational Neuroscience" is not so much about the biological and biochemical characteristics of neurons as about their computational logistics. Very ambitious projects like Henry Markram's Blue Brain Project try to disclose the brains functioning by reconstructing it at the synapse-level in the form of a computer model. The Blue Brain tries to model what is called a cortical column, a repetitive structure observed in all mammal brains. These columns were first described by Vernon B. Mountcastle as "Hypercolumns".
