Sometimes I read that resting state networks may be the "building block" or the "pychological primitives" of the mind. However, I can't see the reason why - possibly due to my limited...

Does the pre-synaptic neuron location in a cortical map influences the spatial position of its synapses in the dendrite of the downstream neuron?

Are functional maps in the cortex used by the brain to carry out computations or are they just a byproduct of wiring minimization? A key element to answer this question is to know if, when...
