A neurochemical model of the brain

The digital simulation of a network called mew-Brain is described. The network is a neurochemical version of the existing learning system PURR-PUSS. The organization of computer data for mew-Brain is considered. Several algorithms which have been developed to enable the incorporation of chemical...
