Abstract
It is reasonable to assume that learning as a physiological problem has played a provocative role in studying the brain integrative function. Efforts are being made to find out the mode and construction of learning induced inter- and intra-central integrity. Hebb (1957) developed perhaps the first comprehensive systems analysis of brain function and learning. His notion of assembly activity of neurons is the most popular idea in neuro-physiology. For many years functional neuronal integrations have been based on the anatomical knowledge of what is connected to what. At present such anatomical knowledge is not sufficient to provide an unambiguous interpretation of experimental findings on a cellular level. Thus, columnar organization of cortical cells supposes a possible structural organization of cortical activity, but it is not valid in the explanation of inter-neuronal functional relation within a given column.
