Abstract
Computer simulation experiments are described regarding information storage and retrieval at a network consisting of one Purkinje cell and 20,000 granule cells. The information content depends on a scheme type and the properties of Purkinje cells. It is shown that a practically attainable information record efficiency is of the order 0.6 bit per binary memorising synapse. Associative information recall is demonstrated for the Marr's memory unit and expressions are derived for an information-content estimation based on parameter values obtained by simulation. The consequences of this computer simulation for physiological experiments are extensively discussed.
