M&B Journal Club: I hope this will be thread #6, if not please rename it appropriately.
Date: First week of Sept 06.
Topic: Computational Neuroscience Papers
Papers: I will attempt to present 2(maybe 3 papers) on the topic above, all models using Neural nets. The first Paper deals with Imagery: Mental Navigation. The second Paper deals with Modelling the HC-Hippocampus.
The third paper deals with language Learning in child development mainly how children begin to learn based on sensorimotor experiences first(though I have not finished reading this article)
All papers can be found on this link

[Paper 01-Spatial Cog Section] # Byrne, P. and Becker, S. (2004), Modelling mental navigation in scenes with multiple objects. Neural Computation 16(9):1851-1872. PDF document
[Paper 02-Hippocampal Section]# Becker, S. (2005) "A computational principle for hippocampal learning and neurogenesis". Hippocampus 15(6):722-738. (link to pdf)
[Paper 03-langauge]# Howell, S. R., Jankowicz, D., and Becker, S. (2005), A Model of Grounded Langauge Acquisition: Sensorimotor Features Improve Grammar Learning. Journal of Memory and Langauge 53(2):258-276, PDF document
Note: I decided to do a review on all three because originally this would have been my Msc/Phd Research Field. Spatial Navigation & Language.
And I think its a good idea to get a good view of how a range of brain regions would be modeled.
Note: The thread that will follow, will discuss what one should look in a modelling paper.
best, NC
