Mountcastle, Vernon

Vernon Mountcastle has called this unique collection of cells a brain-within-the-brain . By this, he means that they constitute a mode-switching mechanism that can automatically and forcibly change the microclimate of the rest of the brain. An analogy to the temperature and climate control system situated in the cellar of a modern home, but influencing all its rooms, comes to mind. [Pg.58]
