Extensive computational modeling has focused on the hippocampal formation and related cortical structures. This introduction describes the topics addressed by individual articles in part two of this special issue of the journal Hippocampus on the top...

Spiking neural P systems (SNP systems) are a class of distributed and parallel computation models, which are inspired by the way in which neurons process information through spikes, where the integrate-and-fire behavior of neurons and the distributio...

The prefrontal cortex encodes and stores numerous, often disparate, schemas and flexibly switches between them. Recent research on artificial neural networks trained by reinforcement learning has made it possible to model fundamental processes underl...
OBJECTIVE: Many neural systems display spontaneous, spatiotemporal patterns of neural activity that are crucial for information processing. While these cascading patterns presumably arise from the underlying network of synaptic connections between ne...
The brain makes flexible and adaptive responses in a complicated and ever-changing environment for an organism's survival. To achieve this, the brain needs to understand the contingencies between its sensory inputs, actions, and rewards. This is anal...
Electrophysiological studies have shown that mammalian primary visual cortex are selective for the orientations of visual stimuli. Inspired by this mechanism, we propose a hierarchical spiking neural network (SNN) for image classification. Grayscale ...
Obtaining the computational models for the functioning of the brain gives us a chance to understand the brain functionality thoroughly. This would help the development of better treatments for neurological illnesses and disorders. We created a cortic...
Area V4 is the first object-specific processing stage in the ventral visual pathway, just as area MT is the first motion-specific processing stage in the dorsal pathway. For almost 50 years, coding of object shape in V4 has been studied and conceived...
We propose a modular architecture for neuromorphic closed-loop control based on bistable relaxation oscillator modules consisting of three spiking neurons each. Like its biological prototypes, this basic component is robust to parameter variation but...
Working memory is essential: it serves to guide intelligent behavior of humans and nonhuman primates when task-relevant stimuli are no longer present to the senses. Moreover, complex tasks often require that multiple working memory representations ca...
