title: Computational models of association cortex.
abstract: Recent computational models, or mathematical realizations of neurobiological theories, are providing insights into the organization and workings of the association cortex. Such models concern the construction of cortical maps, the neural basis of cognitive functions such as visual perception, reward-motivated learning and some aspects of consciousness.
