Abstract

Most models of neural associative memory have used networks with full connectivity. However, this seems unrealistic from a neuroanatomical perspective and a VLSI implementation viewpoint. In this study, we built a new associative memory network based on the Watts-Strogatz model. The results indicate that this new network can recall the memorized patterns even with only a small fraction of total connections and is more sufficient than other networks with sparse topologies, such as randomly connected network and regularly network.
