Context, Cortex, and Dopamine: A Connectionist Approach to Behavior and Biology in Schizophrenia.

Cohen, Jonathan D.; Servan-Schreiber, David

Psychological Review, v99 n1 p45-77 Jan 1992

Using a connectionist framework, it is possible to develop models exploring effects of biologically relevant variables on behavior. The ability of such models to explain schizophrenic behavior in terms of biological disturbances is considered, and computer models are presented that simulate normal and schizophrenic behavior in an attentional task.
