Editing Memory-prediction framework (section)

== Overview ==

The theory is motivated by the observed similarities between the brain structures (especially [[cerebral cortex|neocortical]] tissue) that are used for a wide range of behaviours available to mammals. The theory posits that the remarkably uniform ''physical'' arrangement of cortical tissue reflects a single principle or algorithm which underlies all cortical information processing. The basic processing principle is hypothesized to be a feedback/recall [[feedback|loop]] which involves both [[cerebral cortex|cortical]] and extra-cortical participation (the latter from the [[thalamus]] and the [[Hippocampus|hippocampi]] in particular).
