TL;DR
A robust model of neocortical circuitry based on hierarchical synaptic organization based on distributed and hierarchical properties can be used as an associative memory capable of simulating multi-level responses and selective memory loss in real neural circuits.
Abstract
A robust model of neocortical circuitry based on hierarchical synaptic organization is described. The parallel distributed and hierarchical properties of the model can be used as an associative memory capable of simulating multi-level responses and selective memory loss in real neural circuits.

A model of a system having a large number of simple equivalent components, based on aspects of neurobiology but readily adapted to integrated circuits, produces a content-addressable memory which correctly yields an entire memory from any subpart of sufficient size.

The present investigation, made in acute preparations, includes a study of receptive fields of cells in the cat's striate cortex, which resembled retinal ganglion-cell receptive fields, but the shape and arrangement of excitatory and inhibitory areas differed strikingly from the concentric pattern found in retinalganglion cells.

The cortical and subcortical connections of the middle temporal visual area of the macaque monkey were investigated using combined injections of [3H]proline and horseradish peroxidase within MT to determine a hierarchical arrangement of visual areas.

Jackson's evolutionary conception of the localization of sensory-motor function in the cerebrum marked the end of a long process of development away from the attempt to correlate faculties with cerebral organs and toward a functional conception of sensorimotor processes as the substratum of mental states.
