I can recommend ‘John Byrne - From Molecules to Networks (Third Edition)’. It is interesting from several perspectives. Though its title is far stretched, chapter 19 and 20 really drive the point home:
Knierim, J. J. (2014). From Molecules to Networks: Chapter 19 – Information Processing in Neural Networks. From Molecules to Networks (pp. 563–589). Elsevier. doi:10.1016/B978-0-12-397179-1.00019-1 This chapter bridges the gap between informatics and biology splendidly. In terms of different neuron types, as well as for interacting systems of increasing complexity. Also, the whole SDR thing becomes tangible afterwards. E.g. which biological problem it solves and how it is related to other types of encoding principles. LaBar, K. S., LeDoux, J. E., Schafe, G. E., & Thompson, R. F. (2014). From Molecules to Networks: Chapter 20 – Learning and Memory: Basic Mechanisms. From Molecules to Networks (pp. 591–637). Elsevier. doi:10.1016/B978-0-12-397179-1.00020-8 Still need to churn through this chapter. Though it also looks promising, tons of references to recent research.
