Right auditory regions were decoupled from non-auditory regions, presumably forming an integrated information processing unit with the left auditory cortex.
The strongly enhanced connectivity of the left versus the right auditory cortex supports the notion that the left AI seems to take control of processing resources of right auditory brain regions, forming an enlarged and integrated information processing unit.
A common feature of Huntington disease (HD), an autosomal dominant condition, is a severe loss of neurons in striatum, the main information processing unit of the basal ganglia.
We consider microorganisms as individual information processing units implementing a distributed metabolic algorithm and describe developments in ecoinformatics and ubiquitous computing with the potential to eliminate bottlenecks and empower knowledge creation and translation.
Neurons can be regarded as information processing units on a physiological basis and symbols as information processing units on a more abstract level.
Following this approach, one is likely to construct simpler information processing units that can be integrated into a network, where output from one unit can be used as input for another corresponding unit.
To use neuro-symbols as elementary information processing units came from the following observation: in the brain, information is processed by neurons.
This fact can be seen as evidence for such a correlation and was the motivation for using neuro-symbols as basic information processing units.
Topics include: neurons as information processing units; simple and complex circuits underlying sensory information processing and motor control; and development and plasticity of neural circuits.
