Abstract
We describe the operation of a neuronal device which embodies the computational principles of the `paper-and-pencil' machine envisioned by Alan Turing. The network is based on principles of cortical organization. We develop a plausible solution to implement pointers and investigate how neuronal circuits may instantiate the basic operations involved in assigning a value to a variable (i.e., x=5), in determining whether two variables have the same value and in retrieving the value of a given variable to be accessible to other nodes of the network. We exemplify the collective function of the network in simplified arithmetic and problem solving (blocks-world) tasks. Received: 14 June 2013, Accepted: 9 July 2013; Edited by: G. B.

我们描述了一个神经元装置的操作，它体现了艾伦·图灵设想的“纸笔”机器的计算原理。该网络基于皮层组织原理。我们开发了一个可行的解决方案来实现指针，并研究神经元回路如何实例化涉及到的基本操作，包括为变量赋值(即x=5)，确定两个变量是否具有相同的值，以及检索给定变量的值以供网络的其他节点访问。我们在简化的算法和问题解决(块世界)任务中举例说明了网络的集体功能。收稿日期:2013年6月14日，收稿日期:2013年7月9日;编辑:g.b.明德林;引用全文:A Zylberberg, L Paz, P R Roelfsema, S Dehaene, M Sigman, Papers in Physics 5,050006 (2013)
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
