Nota de alcance

  • The Canadian neuropsychologist Donald O. Hebb introduced the concept of cell assembly in his 1949 seminal work The Organization of Behavior, which he defines as: “a diffuse structure comprising cells in the cortex and diencephalon (and also, perhaps, in the basal ganglia of the cerebrum), capable of acting briefly as a closed system, delivering facilitation to other such systems and usually having a specific motor facilitation. A series of such events constitutes a ‘phase sequence’—the thought process.” (Hebb, 1949, p. xix).
