Spike-timing dependent plasticity and the cognitive map

Spike-timing dependent plasticity and the cognitive map

Since the discovery of place cells – single pyramidal neurons that encode spatial location – it has been hypothesised that the hippocampus may act as a cognitive map of known environments. This putative function has been extensively modelled using auto-associative networks, which utilise rate-coded...
