A Theory of How Columns in the Neocortex Enable Learning the Structure of the World
This paper proposes a network model composed of columns and layers that performs robust object learning and recognition. The model introduces a new feature to cortical columns, location information, which is represented relative to the object being sensed.

Why Neurons Have Thousands of Synapses, A Theory of Sequence Memory in Neocortex
This foundational paper describes core HTM theory for sequence memory and its relationship to the neocortex. Written with a neuroscience perspective, the paper explains why neurons have so many synapses and how networks of neurons can form a powerful sequence learning mechanism.
