Attractor Neural Networks and Spatial Maps in Hippocampus
نویسنده
چکیده
Attractor neural network theory has been proposed as a theory for long-term memory. Recent studies of hippocampal place cells, including a study by Leutgeb et al. in this issue of Neuron, address the potential role of attractor dynamics in the formation of hippocampal representations of spatial maps.

A Model of Navigation in a Complex Maze Inspired by Hippocampus
A model of navigation inspired by rodent hippocampus stores several navigational maps in a single attractor (Hopfield-like) neural network. Hippocampus is a part of brain involved in spatial orientation. It models such phenomena as place cells, long-term potentiation, long-term depression, path integration, inhibitory interneurons etc. Structure of the model conforms to functional schema of hip...
متن کاملCross-talk and transitions between multiple spatial maps in an attractor neural network model of the hippocampus: phase diagram (I)
We study the stable phases of an attractor neural network model, with binary units, for hippocampal place cells encoding 1D or 2D spatial maps or environments. Using statistical mechanics tools we show that, below critical values for the noise in the neural response and for the number of environments, the network activity is spatially localized in one environment. We calculate the number of sto...
متن کاملStatistical Physics and Representations in Real and Artificial Neural Networks
This document presents the material of two lectures on statistical physics and neural representations, delivered by one of us (R.M.) at the Fundamental Problems in Statistical Physics XIV summer school in July 2017. In a first part, we consider the neural representations of space (maps) in the hippocampus. We introduce an extension of the Hopfield model, able to store multiple spatial maps as c...
متن کاملSelf-organising continuous attractor networks with multiple activity packets, and the representation of space
'Continuous attractor' neural networks can maintain a localised packet of neuronal activity representing the current state of an agent in a continuous space without external sensory input. In applications such as the representation of head direction or location in the environment, only one packet of activity is needed. For some spatial computations a number of different locations, each with its...
متن کاملCrosstalk and transitions between multiple spatial maps in an attractor neural network model of the hippocampus: phase diagram.
We study the stable phases of an attractor neural network model, with binary units, for hippocampal place cells encoding one-dimensional (1D) or 2D spatial maps or environments. Different maps correspond to random allocations (permutations) of the place fields. Based on replica calculations we show that, below critical levels for the noise in the neural response and for the number of environmen...
