Scope: This bibliography contains references to models of cortical maps and artificial neural maps in general.

Support level: Mixed - 2000. This bibliography is a combination of several related bibliographies. Its support level is therefore mixed and depends on the support levels of the sub-bibliographies.

Publication types: All. This bibliography may also contain non-journal references, which are shown in grey and are not included in the bibtex file. Red titles indicate survey articles.

Online papers: An 'A' or 'P' (or 'T' for text only) after a reference link indicates that it leads to an abstract or full paper, respectively. Upper case letters refer to online documents provided by a journal, which might be accessible only to subscribers (indicated by a '?'). Lower case letters refer to online documents provided by an author. Also the links at the end of the references are differentiated in this way by upper and lower case letters at the beginning of the words 'abstract.html' etc. and by a '?', if the corresponding document is only accessible to subscribers. The site location is indicated by a preceding .uk, .com, etc.

BibTeX: A bibtex file for the journal article references is also available (compressed and uncompressed).

Feedback: Please feel free to send me any kind of feedback about this bibliography.
