Short Term Memory in a Network of Spiking Neurons
نویسنده
چکیده
A distributed connectionist model of spiking neurons (INFERNET) is used to simulate various aspects of Short Term Memory. In INFERNET, short term memory is the transient activation of long term memory elements. This single store model has a human-like performance in short term memory span tasks, but also displays serial position effects, similarity effects, and double dissociation between short and long term memory which are considered as the main psychological arguments in favor of the multiple-store model.

A spiking network model of short-term active memory.
Studies of cortical neurons in monkeys performing short-term memory tasks have shown that information about a stimulus can be maintained by persistent neuron firing for periods of many seconds after removal of the stimulus. The mechanism by which this sustained activity is initiated and maintained is unknown. In this article we present a spiking neural network model of short-term memory and use...
متن کاملEffects of Guanfacine and Phenylephrine on a Spiking Neuron Model of Working Memory
We utilize a spiking neural network model of working memory (WM) capable of performing the spatial delayed response task (DRT) to investigate the functional effects of two drugs that affect WM: guanfacine (GFC); and phenylephrine (PHE). In this model, the loss of information over time results from changes in the spiking neural activity due to recurrent connections. We reproduce the standard for...

متن کاملLong short-term memory and Learning-to-learn in networks of spiking neurons
Networks of spiking neurons (SNNs) are frequently studied as models for networks of neurons in the brain, but also as paradigm for novel energy efficient computing hardware. In principle they are especially suitable for computations in the temporal domain, such as speech processing, because their computations are carried out via events in time and space. But so far they have been lacking the ca...
