Otto D. Creutzfeldt, neurobiologist, neurophysiologist, and neurologist died on January 23, 1992. An active researcher in many fields, he became an expert on the neocortex, the structure that interested him most. This book presents the papers from a symposium organized by some of his former collaborators to present his main research interests. In chapters addressing such various aspects as development, plasticity, circuitry, and higher functions, short original papers provide an overview of structural and functional properties of the cerebral cortex from various perspectives, from cellular mechanisms to cognitive processes in humans. The papers document the wide range of information gained in recent research and provide insight into structural and functional properties of the neocortex.
