Cognitive Maps, Concept Hierarchies, Learning by Simile, and
Similarity Assessment in Homogeneous Neural Nets," Proceedings

Computer Simulation, vol. 2, 808-821.
In this paper, Martin discusses (among other things) simulating
the effects of neurotransmittors and inhibitors, which can have
the result of generating goal-seeking behavior, which is closely
linked to the ability to learn.
