Abstract
The reception, encoding, and transmission of information about the internal and external environment lack value unless they leads to a different outcome from the one that would have otherwise occurred. Practically, the utilization of neural information always involves some modifications, even if no more than delay and relocation. In this chapter we will consider the relatively complex combination and processing of input signals that result in new patterns of neuronal activity.
