Human brain theory

14.8    A connectome theory of the brain

The author has returned to his original goal of exploring the basic neuronal circuitry of the brain. In other words, to look at the brain in the same way as any electronic circuit, where the signal processing in the circuit can be explained on the basis of recognised natural laws.
This shows a difference to the Connectome project.
We abstract from the concrete signals. We do not care whether we are dealing with the processing of olfactory, gustatory, acoustic, tactile, motor or other signals.
We replace the many different modalities with a single modality and pretend that most signals are processed according to a standardised principle. Nevertheless, a distinction remains: there are sensory and motor signals. We retain this distinction.
The aim is to recognise and describe the basic principles of signal processing in the brain.
The starting point is the tripartite division of the brain system into the primary, secondary and tertiary systems with analogue signals, extreme value-coded signals and complex signals.
Each of these signal types utilises three subsystems for signal processing: a signal processing model, a runtime memory and a rotational memory. Each of the three subsystems sends its signals to the higher-level subsystem (if present) using an ascending transformation system. It also sends its signals to the subordinate subsystem (if present) using an ascending transformation system.
This basic neural circuit should be described completely and as realistically as possible, taking into account the cytoarchitecture, the projection paths and the mathematical algorithms.
By abstracting from the various modalities, this model does not describe the real brain with its various lobes in which different modalities are processed. Instead, it is more or less assumed that all lobes of the brain have similar neuronal circuits - only the temporal lobe is an exception - as it is the material seat for the limbic system, which only exists in the temporal lobe.
All interested parties are asked to be patient until the author has completed this chapter.

 

First, we analyse the signal processing module of the primary subsystem and show how it receives the analogue input, converts it into extreme value-coded input by means of a transformation system and thus prepares the ground for a comprehensive signal analysis in the tertiary system. Due to the large scope of the associated theory, a new chapter no. 20 was written for this purpose with the title: ‘The connectome of the spinocerebellum’.
