Abstract:
We will briefly review some basic concept of neurogeometry to model the functional architecture of the primary visual cortex. While classic neurogeometrical models deal with an homogenous class of cells, we will problematize the heterogeneity of connectivity geometry and dynamics
Possible solutions to couple heterogeneous infra and inter-cortical cells are then discussed.
