What Are Cell Assemblies and Why Do They Matter?

Adventures Among Ideas by David Dennen

Episode notes

Cell assemblies, as proposed by Donald Hebb, are groups of neurons that have something to do with concepts; they bridge the gap between the psychological and the biological. In this episode I introduce and explore Hebb’s cell assembly theory using Christian R. Huyck and Peter J. Passmore’s article “A Review of Cell Assemblies” (Biological Cybernetics, 2013).
