The brain uses neural codes to store and process information about the world. Combinatorial codes encode information about the behavior of a group of neurons. A code is called convex if there is an arrangement of convex open sets in Euclidean space that represent its codewords. We will have a brief introduction to the notion of a convex code and introduce structures in which combinatorial data about the code is sufficient to determine convexity.
