Neocortical Neural Networks
Neurons can look significantly different in their connection arrangements depending on which neo cortex layer they're situated in. The thalamus is the main imper and a sub cortical structure to the neo cortex. It primarily sends sensory or pre processed information into layo four of the neocortex. Columns wired to the ear, for example, learn to process sound. Columns Wired to the retina, rods and cones, learn toprocess images. All functional areas in t near cortex are by directionly connected with other brain structures but their main imputs and outputs come from other cortical areas by long distance connections.
