I've finished working through the main body of Pribram's Brain and
Perception and have started reading the appendices. Coming at this from
the math side, rather than the physiology side, I find myself asking a
question: How good are Froelich's proposals concerning the dendritic ionic
bioplasma? Pribram embraces that theory since he needs something of the
sort to ground his holonomic brain theory in. On the other hand, I'm not
convinced that a classical model of dendritic function might not be
adequate as a starting point for the holonomic theory. 

Cheers,
