Title: Towards Deep Network of Memory

Abstract:
  Memory is one of the core brain functions of animals. Memories are
distributed across cortical structures and have various time scales,
ranging e.g. from sensory memory, short-term memory to long term memory.
How  memories are organized as a deep network is a critical question
both for neuroscience and artificial intelligence research.

In this talk, I will review recent progress in understanding the spatial
memory circuits in the brain, and discuss neural network models of
cognitive map. By understanding the dynamics and computational
mechanisms of the memory circuits, it is possible to find a path to
understand and create intelligence.
