The objective of this review article is to present different perspectives that have contributed to the study of the Neural Code, a concept that comes from Neuroscience and that explains the functioning of the brain through neuron connections. Four ideas related to the analysis of this functioning are presented. Firstly, the proposal of Hierarchical Convergence, which offers an explanation associated with a specific neuronal correlate for a specific behavior. Secondly, the idea of the Population Code is discussed, which explains the work of a group of neurons that represent a certain state. Subsequently, the proposal of Temporal Correlation is addressed, which proposes the presence of active neuronal populations that differentiate each other based on temporal discharge patterns, finally arriving at the concept of neural networks and their different explanatory models. The latter have acted as foundations for the development of modern Neuroscience and have been developed thanks to the contributions of Biology, Physics, Mathematics, among other disciplines, and have generated the basis for understanding the functioning of the brain through interconnected neurons to achieve the expression of the different cognitive processes. The paper aims to develop a panoramic and general view of how the flow of information processed by the central nervous system operates and the impact that this phenomenon generates in the process of sensory integration as part of emotion and cognition in the human brain.
