Introduction

Relatively little is known to science about the human brain and how it functions. As such, it is difficult to construct a precise model for the entire human brain or even merely a part of it. Our aim is to create a neural network model to simulate a biological neural network and we have chosen to focus on the human hippocampus. However, in light of the current limitations in this area of study, we have selected only a few of the more important and better documented features of the human hippocampus to incorporate into our neural network model.
