Abstract

Discovering neural substructures in the brain is practically impossible. Modules assumed in the brain so far have not been structurally established but functionally. To approach the understanding of the performance of the brain in terms of neurons seems overoptimistic. In this paper three simple micro-structures are proposed in terms of neurons, with the purpose of using them in further papers to explain more complex functional modules.
