Scalable Implementation of Hippocampal Network on Digital Neuromorphic System towards Brain-Inspired Intelligence

Abstract

In this paper, an expanded digital hippocampal spurt neural network (HSNN) is innovatively proposed to simulate the mammalian cognitive system and to perform the neuroregulatory dynamics that play a critical role in the cognitive processes of the brain, such as memory and learning. The real-time computation of a large-scale peak neural network can be realized by the scalable on-chip network and parallel topology. By exploring the latest research in the field of neurons and comparing with the results of this paper, it can be found that the implementation of the hippocampal neuron model using the coordinate rotation numerical calculation algorithm can significantly reduce the cost of hardware resources. In addition, the rational use of on-chip network technology can further improve the performance of the system, and even significantly improve the network scalability on a single field programmable gate array chip. The neuromodulation dynamics are considered in the proposed system, which can replicate more relevant biological dynamics. Based on the analysis of biological theory and the theory of hardware integration, it is shown that the innovative system proposed in this paper can reproduce the biological characteristics of the hippocampal network and may be applied to brain-inspired intelligent subjects. The study in this paper will have an unexpected effect on the future research of digital neuromorphic design of spike neural network and the dynamics of the hippocampal network.
