与认知、思维相关的脑功能复杂性

The Brain Functional Complexity Relevant to Cognition and Thinking

人类对脑功能的认识可分为 :科学史前认识、经典脑科学理论和当代脑科学理论三个历史阶段。介绍了脑机能定位论、神经元论和反射论等重大经典理论和现代信息加工论、联结理论、模块论和生态现实论之后 ,着重讨论了脑功能制约的结构复杂性和脑结构制约的功能复杂性。在脑的五维超立体结构中进化出五个层次的功能关系。要真正理解脑复杂性必须有多层次的辩证观 ,高层次的认知、思维功能是全脑的活动 ,但以低层次脑定位功能为基础。

The history of studying in brain function can be divided into three stages:pre-scientific period,classical brain theories and contemporary brain theories.At first,the classical brain theories,were introduced such as brain functional localism,neuron doctrine,reflex theory and modern theories,for example,information processing theory,connectionism,module hypothesis and ecological realism.Then,the structured complexity confined (constrained) by brain function and the functional complexity confined by brain structure were discussed.Five hierarchies of brain functions were evolved in five-dimensions of brain structure.It is necessary to keep dialectical thinking in the understanding of brain complexity.The cognition-thinking in the highest hierarchy of brain function is implemented by whole brain,but it must base on the low hierarchy of localized brain function.
