Abstract

Focusing on the developmental process of the brain, we propose a neural network model of functional differentiation including functional parcellation. We explain the emerging process of functional elements, of the system through the constraints, which act on the whole network system. We explain several kinds of differentiation, such as the differentiation of neuronal cells, functional modules, and the sensory neurons, thereby proposing three hypotheses.
