Connectionists: from normal learning and recognition to Alzheimer's disease

[Stephen Grossberg]

Dear Colleagues,

I am writing to call your attention to the following article because the neural model that it describes links normal category learning and recognition to clinical disorders such as autism and Alzheimer’s disease, topics that are currently of great interest and concern. The clinical links emerged after the neural dynamics of vigilance control during normal category learning was sufficiently understood.

Best,
