Phase 1 and 2 DARPA Simulation Components “ To simulate a system of up to 106 neurons and demonstrate core functions and properties including: (a) dynamic neural activity, (b) network stability, (c) synaptic plasticity and (d) self-organization in response to (e) sensory stimulation and (f) system-level modulation/reinforcement” The proposed Hippocampal-Prefrontal cortex model includes aspects of all 6 target components above: (a) Dynamic neural activity: → RAIN, place fields, short-term memory, sequential decision making (b) Network stability: → Effects of lesions and perturbations (c) Synaptic plasticity: → STDP (in both excitatory and inhibitory) (d) Self-organization: → Place field formation and stabilization (e) Sensory stimulation: → Visual landmark representation (no structural VC per se) (f) Modulation/reinforcement: → Reinforcement learning of correct sequence of decisions
44
Future Goals The Hippocampal-Prefrontal cortex model will further include the following aspects: (a) Sensory stimulation: → Structural visual cortex (b) Auto-stimulating neural activity → Self-activating RAIN (c) Structural entorhinal cortex → Grid cells, PPA interneurons (d) Theta coherence → Hippocampal and prefrontal (e) Virtual environment interface → Human robot walking in a street
