Neuroscience: what we cannot model, we do not understand

Curr Biol. 2011 Feb 8;21(3):R123-5. doi: 10.1016/j.cub.2010.12.049.

Abstract

To understand computations in neuronal circuits, a model of a small patch of cortex has been developed that can describe the firing regime in the visual system remarkably well.
