Abstract
We describe Darwin X, a physical device that interacts with a real environment, whose behavior is guided by a simulated nervous system incorporating aspects of the detailed anatomy and physiology of the hippocampus and its surrounding regions. This brain-based device integrates cues from its environment and solves a spatial memory task. The responses of simulated neuronal units in the hippocampal areas during its exploratory behavior are comparable to place cells in the rodent hippocampus and emerged by associating sensory cues during exploration. To identify different functional hippocampal pathways and their influence on behavior, we employed
