Building intelligent system: learning from the Cortico-Hippocampal network

This paper describes the way human brain structures its memory. Human memory could be broadly classified into sensory buffer memory, short-term memory, and long term memory. The work involves an investigation on current human memory function and its association to information processing. Also investigated, is a model of the functioning of a part of the brain, called the cortico-hippocampal region that explains how the brain can learn to predict stimuli based on context cues. The work explores the cortico-hippocampal model and the possibility of an extension of this model. Its possible applications in the field of intelligent computer systems are also being considered in this paper
