Document Summary
50 diff versions in cortical architecture complexity from a relatively small number of players to make sense of that complexity. Motor cortex will look differently since there are lots more output and so you do see variation layer 5 and 6 in the motor cortex has larger pyramidal cells at the edge of the limit of the cortex. We have talked about some of them. When the neurons are born their birth order and where they end up. What information comes in and out of these areas. What type of neurons they have and how they all connect upt. Meso scale which is regions of neurons. We dont just want to know the sturcture we want to know what it does. Working together when you are doing nothing the brain is showing coherent interaction within different regions screening for neurodegenerative disease being able to day dream looking at morphological and then functional connectivity. Whether there is a unit of computation.
