Abstract: Over 40 years ago, Mountcastle showed that the outer layer of the brain, the cerebral cortex, contains columns of cells with similar properties. This led to the development of the pinwheel model, which describes how these columns are organized. The latest refinement to this model comes from a mathematical study, which shows that the pinwheel model is subject to stringent symmetry principles.
