Abstract :
Proposes a fundamental construct, called the microcircuit, that constitutes the basic building block of an associative memory model, the μAM. The microcircuit´s structure is based on cerebellar interneuron connectivity patterns. Overlapping microcircuit activity is used to describe μAM memory operations, and quantitative expressions for the memory´s storage and recall behavior are given. Measures of the memory´s fidelity are derived and an analysis, including simulation results, of the model´s recall behavior is given
