Neocortex: A high speed analogic conditionable complex-pattern recognizer

Abstract

Neocortical intrinsic signalling is posited to be predominantly dendro-dendritic. Dendro-dendritic synaptic transmission is at electron-spin-resonance (ESR) tempo between pulsating -NH 2 entities at the tips of the dendrites' neurofibrils. Signals along a fibril consist of ESR-tempo fluxes in excitation state of its helical C-chain macromolecule. At each dendrite-soma ‘stem region’ fibril excitation-flux transduces (reversibly) into soma-membrane ionic polarization flux. Outgoings of signals from the soma-membrane into dendrites are influenced, probabilistically, by the ‘transduction strength’ at each stem region. Transduction strength depends upon the density of H-bondings, locally, within the fibril. The density of H-bondings is proportional to the number of times the fibril has been dupli-excited. Dupli-excitation occurs whenever activation fronts from two axon-input boundaries (eg. from conditioned and unconditioned percepts) meet in precise phase at synapsing dendrite tips, causing momentary duplication in -NH 2 pulsation amplitude, which causes transient recursive duplicate excitation amplitude in the fibrils, which energises sustained addition of a quantum of H-bonds within the fibril at the stem region of the two dendrites involved: ie. H-bond transducer quanta form experience-variable memory-unit weightings within a very high speed (VHS) communication network. Such organization bypasses the speed-constrictions of axonal propagation and chemo-synaptic transmission and provides the neocorticate animal with VHS analogical processing of information during learning and pursuit of prey or avoidance of predators in familiar surroundings: ie. with VHS pattern-recognition favoring survival.
