Neurons have reflexes, ON-center neurons, other neuron types, ganglia, orientation columns, topographic maps, association cortex, and memory systems {neuron assembly}.
reflexes
Brain can modify reflexes. Inhibition from controllers and excitation from motivators compete to cause behavior or fading.
ON-center and OFF-center neurons
ON-center and OFF-center neurons detect points and lines. ON-center and OFF-center neuron arrays can detect point and line arrays and so textures, boundaries, and objects.
neuron types
Besides ON-center neurons, other neuron types detect color and other intensities.
orientation columns
Cortical orientation columns detect line and boundary orientations and detect angles and so detect surface orientations.
topographic maps
Ganglia and topographic maps code relations among perceptions and motions.
association cortex
Association cortex controls series and parallel perceptual and motor systems, integrating information to guide behavior.
memory systems
Cortical systems have three-dimensional registers to hold spatial perceptual information temporarily and permanently.
