A new theory proposes how the brain’s long-range links build models of the world

A letter in Neural Computation extends the Thousand Brains Theory to explain how long-range connections in the neocortex may help the brain build models of objects and the world. It also outlines how the ideas could inform artificial intelligence, while presenting predictions for future experiments rather than new experimental results.

A brain model explains how several future actions can form one flexible plan

A computational model offers an explanation for how the brain plans sequences of actions without representing them only one step at a time. It reproduces several patterns seen in primate frontal cortex, including simultaneous activity for multiple plan elements and shared activity patterns during forward and backward tasks.
