Connectionists: Special issue on Hierarchy and Dynamics in Neural Networks

[Marcus Kaiser]

Dear all,

Hierarchy is a central feature in the organization of complex neural
networks. This topic is an emerging key question in neuroscience, as well as
generally in the field of network science, due to its links with concepts of
control, efficiency, and development across scales.

The contributed articles of our special issue on 'Hierarchy and Dynamics in
Neural Networks' have now appeared in Frontiers in Neuroinformatics. For
your information, these articles are listed below and a two-page overview
can be found in the editorial (
http://www.biological-networks.org/pubs/Kaiser2010editorial.pdf ).
