A Novel Approach to Large Scale Brain Network Models: An Algorithmic Model for Place Cell Emergence With Robotic Sensor Input
Abstract
The hippocampus is a region of the brain used in spatial navigation. This report describes the current status of a project that has the objective of using a computational model of the hippocampus to design more robust navigation procedures for autonomous systems operating in natural environments. The report includes an overview of the problem, a synopsis of prior work in this effort, items accomplished in the work period, publications and summary conclusions. The primary item addressed in this work period was the development of a biophysically realistic computational model of a hippocampal pyramidal cell, the primary information processing unit of the hippocampus.
