Connection Strategies in Associative Memory Models with Spiking and Non-spiking Neurons

چکیده
The problem we address in this paper is that of finding effective and parsimonious patterns of connectivity in sparse associative memories. This problem must be addressed in real neuronal systems, so results in artificial systems could throw light on real systems. We show that there are efficient patterns of connectivity and that these patterns are effective in models with either spiking or non-spiking neurons. This suggests that there may be some underlying general principles governing good connectivity in such networks.

Associative Memory Operation in a Hopfield-type Spiking Neural Network with Modulation of Resting Membrane Potential
This paper proposes a Hopfield-type spiking neural network with modulation of resting membrane potential, and reports retrieval data transition phenomena in its associative memory operation. Spiking neuron models express analog information by the timing of neuronal spike firing events. Since these models operate asynchronously, it is expected that the spiking network operates faster than the co...
متن کاملNeurogenesis and multiple plasticity mechanisms enhance associative memory retrieval in a spiking network model of the hippocampus
Hippocampal CA3 is crucial for the formation of long-term associative memory. It has a heavily recurrent connectivity, and memories are thought to be stored as memory engrams in the CA3. However, despite its importance for memory storage and retrieval, spiking network models of the CA3 to date are relatively small-scale, and exist as only proof-of-concept models. Specifically, how neurogenesis ...

متن کاملA "spiking" bidirectional associative memory for modeling intermodal priming
Starting from a modular artificial neural system modelling the integration of several perceptive stimuli, this article proposes a new implementation of the central module performing a multimodal associative memory. A Bidirectional Associative Memory (BAM) has been emulated in temporal coding with spiking neurons. Since input patterns are dynamically encoded, the effects of the latency of evocat...
متن کاملAssociative memory model with long-tail-distributed Hebbian synaptic connections
The postsynaptic potentials of pyramidal neurons have a non-Gaussian amplitude distribution with a heavy tail in both hippocampus and neocortex. Such distributions of synaptic weights were recently shown to generate spontaneous internal noise optimal for spike propagation in recurrent cortical circuits. However, whether this internal noise generation by heavy-tailed weight distributions is poss...
