Mechanisms for Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking in Developing Visual Cortex
For the brain to recognize local orientations within images, neurons must spontaneously break the translation and rotation symmetry of their response functions—an archetypal example of unsupervised learning. The dominant framework for unsupervised learning in biology is Hebb’s principle, but how Heb...
