One neuron {command neuron} can code for complex functions {single neuron doctrine}, because it responds to feature set [Calvin and Ojemann, 1994] [Kreiman et al., 2000] [Kreiman, 2001] [Kreiman et al., 2002] [Ojemann et al., 1998]. For example, after training, neurons can respond preferentially to face, hand, or object aspects.
problems
Number of brain neurons is not large enough to account for all possible objects and views. Neurons do not seem to converge on one brain area. Convergence is slow process, but pattern-representation formation is fast. Researchers have not found brain command neurons. Single cells cannot change efficiently in response to environment or body changes.
