Abstract
In the previous chapters we reached the following conclusions: Each nerve cell receives from and gives contacts to many neurons. Even cells which are close together usually recieve different sources of excitation and inhibition, both when the spontaneous and when the sensory evoked activities are considered. The sensory input is organized so that the units in any certain region of the cortex tend to be affected more by some sort of stimuli and less by others, however, the details of the responses are such that we must assume that many independent sensory inputs converge into the same region.
