The document discusses autaptic circuits for neural vehicles, referencing historical figures and experiments in synthetic psychology that explore principles of intelligence. It describes specific neuronal components and their functions, including bistable and monostable autaptic motor neurons, as well as detailing parameters and behaviors of these circuits. The work links theoretical concepts with practical applications in neuro-anatomy and cybernetics.
