TOWARD A COMPUTER-SIMULATION OF LARGE-SCALE BRAIN SYSTEMS ASSOCIATED WITH MEMORY DISORDERS USING FUZZY-LOGIC

Traditional functional neuroanatomy combined with functional neuroimag ing provide the kind of information needed to simulate the dynamics of large-scale brain systems. A research literature exists linking brain structure interaction and memory, differentiated into declarative, pr ocedural, and other categories based on the brain systems that mediate them. The simulation approach reported here assumes that brain struct ures are modular, interact dynamically via their projections, and that a fuzzy logic computational approach developed for simulating complex systems can be used to simulate large-scale brain systems.
