    Abstract

    After briefly reviewing cunent psychological and neurophysiological knowledge about cognitive processes it is presented a chemical reaction paradigm which allows quantitative analysis of their dynamics. It is also made a reinterpretation of the model in terms of dendrodendritic local computations as well as of somato-axonal communication at a distance. It is suggested the possible utility of this model for the understanding of psychopharmacological therapy of mental disorders.
