The microcircuit associative memory: a biologically motivated memory architecture

Proposes a fundamental construct, called the microcircuit, that constitutes the basic building block of an associative memory model, the /spl mu/AM. The microcircuit's structure is based on cerebellar interneuron connectivity patterns. Overlapping microcircuit activity is used to describe /spl mu/AM 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.<
