The Computational Brain

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

Recently it has become clear that the brain acts as a computational system but does not rely on binary codes, as seen with Turing-based computational systems. In this collection of papers, we will review the mechanisms by which information enters the nervous system, is stored and, later, retrieved. This does not rely simply on physiological action potentials because the action potential is made up of three components: the physiological action potential as described by Hodgkin and Hixley, the action potential pulse, and the computational action potential as described by Winlow and Johnson. Here, we will explore these mechanisms in more detail, including information storage in reverberatory loops in the neocortex. We invite submissions from a wide range of disciplines and encourage authors to share insights that can drive the computational brain.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.

MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:

1. Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
2. Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
3. Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
4. Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
5. Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
