What is it about?
We survey growing evidence that underlying the large-scale topographic maps of the mammalian brain underlies a "noisy" local organization, and how this may affect neural information processing

Why is it important?
While evidence for local 'salt-n'-pepper' organization in many mammalian cortical regions is rapidly growing due largely to the growing popularity of two-photon calcium imaging techniques, these findings have not been incorporated into the common models of cortical processing. Our manuscript attempts to take a step towards that end.
