Synaptic Modification Neuron Selectivity and Nervous System Organization

First published in 1985. This is a collection of essays presenting various theoretical ideas concerning distributive memories and cortical models. In addition it includes a discussion of how a central set of assumptions can explain much of what is now known about deprivation and normal development of visual cortex and can perhaps also serve as the basis for a theory of higher nervous system organization as well as the Changeux model of how a synapse can modify itself.
