 Understanding Higher cognition

in terms of brain anatomy, physiology and chemistry
Section 6 Evidence for the architectural constraints in the brain
How the anatomy and physiology of the brain confirms the presence of the predicted architectural forms; how major anatomical structures correspond with the information processing subsystems predicted by the natural selection pressures resulting from the practical considerations

Lecture 15 Comparing the cortex with the architectural constraints

Part 1  Expected Architectural Constraints Observed in the Brain as a Whole
Part 2  The Cortex Compared with Expected Modular Hierarchy
Part 3  Cortex Information Model
Part 4  Hierarchy of Descriptions for Receptive Field Expansions
​
Lecture 16 Comparing the hippocampus with the architectural constraints

Part 1  Hippocampus as the Cortical Change Manager
Part 2  Information Model for Hippocampal Change Management
Part 3  How the Hippocampus Selects and Drives Appropriate Cortical Receptive Field Changes

Lecture 17 Comparing the subcortical structures with the architectural constraints
​

Part 1  BasalGanglia, Thalamus and BasalForebrain Compared with Expected Architectural Structures
Part 2  Basal Ganglia Information Model
Part 3  Understanding the Effects of Basal Ganglia Damage in terms of its Information Processing Role
Part 4  The Action of the Basal Ganglia and Basal Forebrain on the Thalamus
​
Lecture 18 Comparing the amygdala, hypothalamus and cerebellum with the architectural constraints

Part 1  Amygdala and Hypothalamus Compared with Expected Architectural Structures
Part 2  Operation of the Full Hippocampal System
Part 3  General Neurotransmitter Systems Compared with Expected Architectural Structures
Part 4  Cerebellum as the Expected Rapid Sequence Implementation Structure
​Part 5  Cerebellum Information Model
Part 6  Summary of Correspondences between Brain Structures and Predicted Architecture
