How Hippocampus Solves Inverse Problems: A Circuit Hypothesis

This paper proposes an explicit computational process which reproduces what are considered to be two essential experimentally observed hippocampus capabilities. These are path planning and determining the chain of ordered relationships which bind two concepts. These are both inverse problems. The paper presents algorithmic simulations of the process and a neuronal circuit (and variants) with the same dataflow, both consistent with the known neuroanatomy of the hippocampus. The process described here is purpose-built for hippocampus
