Unification Of Hippocampal Function Via Computational/Encoding Considerations

This paper discusses a highly simpliied, biologically consistent model of hippocampal region CA3. The model is distinguished by its local, self-supervised creation of a code for temporal context. With such a code, the model solves a sequence disambiguation problem. The similarity between this context code and place cell ring is noted. With such a code, the network also solves two other sequence prediction problems: nding shortcuts and seeking goals. Notably, network dynamics rather than a search strategy produces the solutions.
