Abstract

This paper solves spatial navigation task inspired by methods of living organisms, especially by hippocampus that is responsible for spatial navigation. We attempt to model the behavior of a rodent hippocampus by methods of artificial neural networks and reinforcement learning theory. A model of mutual relations among several parts of hippocampal formation is suggested. To investigate the behavior of our model a task similar to the well-known Morris water maze task is considered [8].
