Motivation and Goals

The neural network society is more and more interested to find new ideas/models by looking to brain circuitry and dynamics. Accordingly, each year, an increasing number of papers dealing with computational models -part of them being related to the hippocampus- are presented at IJCNN.

The main goal of this special session is to regroup in a common session all papers related to the Hippocampus. Accordingly, we strongly encourage all persons submitting a paper related to the hippocampus to submit it to this special session.

Models can include just part of the hippocampus, or include other brain areas (as the prefrontal cortex or the entorhinal cortex). These models can go from path integration models to memory models, including models focusing on the different hippocampal dynamics.

The underlying goal of this session is to face together different complementary and/or competitive computational models which include the hippocampus in order to get a integrative view and hopefully to help us in further development.
