Abstract

Associative neural network models are a commonly used methodology when investigating the theory of associative memory in the brain. Comparisons between the mammalian hippocampus and neural network models of associative memory have been investigated [7]. Biologically based networks are complex systems built of neurons with a variety of properties. Here we compare and contrast associative memory function in a network of biologically-based spiking neurons [14] with previously published results for a simple artificial neural network model [6]. We investigate biologically plausible implementations of methods for improving recall under biologically realistic conditions, such as a sparsely connected network.
