A more detailed frontier sourcing pass for this topic is deferred to a follow-up OpenAlex wave; the current sources include Kandel, Principles of Neural Science, each kept as a placeholder anchor for the next iteration. See the parent topic (biology/neuroscience/systems-neuroscience) for the wider context this page will eventually slot into.
