Abstract

Brains are examples of complex information systems based on neuronal information processing. What distinguishes them from other information systems is their ability to cognition, emotion and consciousness. The term cognition (lat. cognoscere for “to recognize”, “to perceive”, “to know”) is used to describe abilities such as perception, learning, thinking, memory and language. Which synaptic signal processing processes underlie these processes? Which neuronal subsystems are involved?
