A lot actually - some of them get links here.  
See this one as an example:

> A very recent competing / complementary model of deep predictive coding in the brain. O’Reilly, Randall C., Dean R. Wyatte, and John Rohrlich. "Deep Predictive Learning: A Comprehensive Model of Three Visual Streams." Abstract: How does the neocortex learn and develop the foundations of all our high-level cognitive abilities? We present a comprehensive framework spanning biological, computational, and cognitive levels, with a clear theoretical continuity between levels, providing a coherent…

If you want to sip at the firehose google: artificial intelligence periodical
