Abstract: The cortex of mammals has a distinct, low-level structure consisting of six horizontal layers that are vertically connected by local groups of about 80 to 100 neurons forming so-called minicolumns. A well-known and widely discussed hypothesis suggests that this regular structure may indicate that there could be a common computational principle that governs the diverse functions performed by the cortex. However, no generally accepted theory regarding such a common principle has been presented so far. In this position paper we provide a novel perspective on a possible function of cortical columns. Based on our previous efforts to model the behaviour of entorhinal grid cells we argue that a single cortical column can function as an independent, autoassociative memory cell (AMC) that utilizes a sparse distributed encoding. We demonstrate the basic operation of this AMC by a first set of preliminary simulation results.
