Abstract:
Understanding information processing in the brain demands more than one approach or method. Combining well-established and diverse novel experimental findings from neuroscience, connectionist approaches, and artificial intelligence, the perspective of the recently proposed cognitive architecture of the Ouroboros Model offers an integrative view on the functional role of the mammalian hippocampus: it is hypothesized to implement a rapidly laid down index, first establishing, contributing to binding, and then retrieving together memory entries, thus iteratively expanding the overall cognitive system in an autocatalytic process.
