Place Cells

Hippocampal neurons with spatially-specific firing; TEM-t memory neurons resemble these and remap randomly between environments.

Frameworks (1)

framework
  • Biologically plausible two-pool architecture from Krotov & Hopfield (2020) splitting self-attention into feature and memory neuron populations; used to interpret TEM-t place cells.

Concepts (2)

concept
  • TEM's method of binding location g and sensory x representations by computing their outer product; corresponds to place cells.
  • Hippocampus
    associated_with
    Brain region corresponding to the memory/conjunction component in TEM; memory neurons resemble place cells.
