Summary: This paper presents a brain-inspired neural architecture with spatial cognition and navigation capability. It captures some navigation properties of rat brain in hidden goal hunting. The brain-inspired system consists of two main parts. One part is hippocampal circuitry and the other part is hierarchical vision architecture. The hippocampus is mainly responsible for the memory and spatial navigation in the brain. The vision system provides the key information about the environment. In the experiment, the cognitive model is implemented in a mobile robot which is placed in a spatial memory task. During the navigation, the neurons in CA1 area show a place dependent response. This place-dependent pattern of CA1 guides the motor neuronal area which then dictates the robot move to the goal location. The results of current study could contribute to the development of brain-inspired cognitive map which enables the mobile robot to perform a rodent-like behavior in the navigation task.
