Learning Hippo: Multi-attractor Dynamics and Stability Effects in a Biologically Detailed CA3 Extension of Hopfield Networks
We present a biologically detailed extension of the classical Hopfield/Marr auto-associative memory model for CA3, implementing ten populations (two asymmetric pyramidal subtypes, eight GABAergic interneuron classes), forty-seven compartments, multi-rule plasticity (recurrent Hebb, BCM anti-saturation, mossy-fiber short-term, endocannabinoid iLTD, burst-gated Hebb), and a bimodal cholinergic encoding/consolidation cycle. Evaluated on pattern completion across auto-associative, associative, and temporal regimes, and on a controlled inhibitory-proportion manipulation at $N{=}256$, the full architecture exhibits \emph{three qualitative signatures absent from a minimal Hopfield baseline}: (i)~multi-attractor cross-seed behaviour at $K{=}5$ with biologically realistic inhibitory proportions, where two of five seeds converge to positive attractors with margin ${+}0.10{-}0.22$ (Cohen's $d{=}0.71$, one-sided $p{=}0.08$); (ii)~target-selective associative recall in paired $(A, B)$ memory at $K{\geq}5$, where the full model retrieves $B$ from a partial cue of $A$ while the minimal model echoes $A$ (Pearson margin $Δ{=}{+}0.163$ at $K{=}5$); (iii)~reduced cross-seed variance of the full model below the minimal baseline under clean upstream, with ratios $1.0{-}3.0$. These three signatures are architecture-specific: they appear consistently across independent regimes and are absent from the minimal control.

Simultaneous embedding of multiple attractor manifolds in a recurrent neural network using constrained gradient optimization
The storage of continuous variables in working memory is hypothesized to be sustained in the brain by the dynamics of recurrent neural networks (RNNs) whose steady states form continuous manifolds. In some cases, it is t…
Towards a Vision-Language Episodic Memory Framework: Large-scale Pretrained Model-Augmented Hippocampal Attractor Dynamics
Modeling episodic memory (EM) remains a significant challenge in both neuroscience and AI, with existing models either lacking interpretability or struggling with practical applications. This paper proposes the Vision-La…
