A Model Based on Chemical Reaction for the Neural Processes Involved in Cognition

José Barahona da Fonseca, Isabel Barahona da Fonseca and José Luis Simões da Fonseca

p. 23-34

    Abstract

    After briefly reviewing cunent psychological and neurophysiological knowledge about cognitive processes it is presented a chemical reaction paradigm which allows quantitative analysis of their dynamics. It is also made a reinterpretation of the model in terms of dendrodendritic local computations as well as of somato-axonal communication at a distance. It is suggested the possible utility of this model for the understanding of psychopharmacological therapy of mental disorders.
