Reconciling reinforcement learning models with behavioral extinction and renewal: implications for addiction, relapse, and problem gambling.

TL;DR: The authors construct a TDRL model that can accommodate extinction and renewal through two simple processes: a T DRL process that learns the value of situation-action pairs and a situation recognition process that categorizes the observed cues into situations.

Neuronal assemblies

TL;DR: The concept of neuronal assembly as it has appeared in selected portions of the literature is examined and it is shown that the dynamic firing correlation can be caused either by dynamic changes in neuronal connection strengths or by the effects of an unobserved (large) pool of other neurons.

What determines the capacity of autoassociative memories in the brain

TL;DR: Previous results on threshold-linear networks are extended to a much larger class of models, by considering different connectivities (including full feedback, highly diluted and multilayer feedforward architectures), different forms of Hebbian learning rules, and different distributions of firing rates.

Long-term synaptic plasticity in hippocampal interneurons

TL;DR: How the remarkable plasticity of glutamatergic synapses on interneurons greatly enhances the computational capacity of the cortical microcircuit is discussed.

Mind as Machine: A History of Cognitive Science

TL;DR: The development of cognitive science is one of the most remarkable and fascinating intellectual achievements of the modern era as discussed by the authors, and it is the project of understanding the mind by modeling its workings.

Theory of Optical Information Storage in Solids

TL;DR: The theory of three-dimensional optical storage lends support to Beurle’s proposed mechanism of information storage in the brain, and makes three- dimensional storage very suitable for associative memories.

Holographic Model of Temporal Recall

TL;DR: It is shown that there is at least one other mathematical model, which is considered to be a closer analogue of holography, because it operates with triple products of the temporal function to be recognized or recalled.
Journal ArticleDOI

Improved holographic model of temporal recall.

TL;DR: The modified static system described here is an alternative to Longuet-Higgins' model and takes account of the weaknesses of the nervous system as well as of its powers to imitate human memory with models.

The Classification of Modifiable Synapses and Their Use In Models For Conditioning

TL;DR: It is argued that if the conditioning and memory mechanisms of the nervous system store information by means of modifiable synapses, some of these must be of class B or C, and if the models are to be given the property of extinction, classical conditioning requires modifiablesynapses of classes A and B or of class C.
