Low-Order Model of Biological Neural Networks

A biologically plausible low-order model (LOM) of biological neural networks is a recurrent hierarchical network of dendritic nodes/trees, spiking/nonspiking neurons, unsupervised/ supervised covariance/accumulative learning mechanisms, feedback connections, and a scheme for maximal generalization. These component models are motivated and necessitated by making LOM learn and retrieve easily without differentiation, optimization, or iteration, and cluster, detect and recognize multiple/hierarchical corrupted, distorted, and occluded temporal and spatial patterns.
