Abstract
This paper presents a new model for neurocomputation which is a
synaptic network functioning in a self-organizing diffusion
neurotransmission field. The field models diffusion of neuroactive
substances in extracellular space and the extraneuronal communication
pathways supported by networks of glial cells such as astrocytes. This
model promises to capture more organizational principles of the brain
than current neural network models since the brain is essentially a
synaptically coupled network of neurons functioning in a field of
diffusive neuroactive substances
