To sketch the outlines of a plausible interpretation of the neural bases of meaning. The naive view that the neural representation of a complex meaning—a yellow Renault, for example—is located in a single, hierarchically prominent nerve cell...has been found to be unjustified for the most part. It is generally accepted today that distinct populations of neurons in sensory, motor, associative, and other territories are linked as part of a distributed network...[which] mobilizes several distinct and functionally specific territories in a discrete manner, thus constituting a neural embodiment of meaning. Note that this assumption does not require that...anatomical connections be...reproducible across individual brains in every detail [in order to evoke memory], only that a map of functional relations be established.
