Not directly what you are asking, but I have always liked the papers of
Bienenstock, esp "On the Dimensionality of Cortical Graphs", which you can
find on his page
http://www.dam.brown.edu/people/elie/publications.html
The neural connectivity graph explained therein should put limit on the
dimensionality of representations in cortex!
