Modeling the contributions of Basal ganglia and Hippocampus to spatial navigation using reinforcement learning.

A computational neural model that describes the competing roles of Basal Ganglia and Hippocampus in spatial navigation is presented. Model performance is evaluated on a simulated Morris water maze explored by a model rat. Cue-based and place-based navigational strategies, thought to be subserved by...
