Lecture 3: The Structure of the Neocortex

In an overview of the structure of the mammalian neocortex, Dr. Clay Reid explains how the mammalian cortex is organized in a hierarchy, describing the columnar principle and canonical microcircuits. This full-length, undergraduate-level lecture is the third of a 12-part series entitled Coding & Vision 101, produced by the Allen Institute for Brain Science as an educational resource for the community.

Great lecture! Did we have any deeper insights on these topics since 2012?

[renatavitoria]

Would it be possible to have the slides downloaded? Thank you anyway!!!

Why is it we can never see the experiences themselves, and just stuff moving around?

We need a video lecture on youtube that covers the entire cycle of the brain of C. Elegans. An hour lecture which covers everything in the loop, from sensation to behavior. 302 neurons should be explained in turn.

But wait.. I guess neuroscience can't make such a lecture. Pardon me! As you were!

Isn’t that the part of the brain that controls animal mutation?

Interested but I've got other s*** to do

Starbucks placement around 50:42 is inappropriate.

Very interesting but Dr. Reid should avoid saying euh euh euh or ah ah ah every seconds LOL.
