Abstract
Associative neural network models are a commonly used methodology when investigating the theory of associative memory in the brain. Comparisons between the mammalian hippocampus and neural network models of associative memory have been investigated. Biologically based networks are complex systems built of neurons with a variety of properties. Here we compare and contrast associative memory function in a network of biologically-based spiking neurons with previously published results for a simple artificial neural network model. We investigate biologically plausible implementations of methods for improving recall under biologically realistic conditions, such as a sparsely connected network.
