Actually, no one can clear up exactly how the neuron network of the human brain works. The anatomical maps abound but those functional, are poorly understood and little produced. It falls to computational Scientists to find the way to use Informatics in Neurology. The contribution of this article is to propose three principles of modeling. The first approach relies on the brain and nervous systems: making the analogy between the brain areas (their relationships) and Petri Nets (PN). The vision based on the cortex consisting in feigning the architecture in layer of this coat will allow deducting a model which will know how to reproduce the functioning of a cortical column and their connections. Finally, consider each neuron can be used as a way to produce a model that will represent their communications.
