Development of hippocampal mossy fiber synaptic outputs by new neurons in the adult brain.

abstract：:We present a theory, and its computer implementation, of how mental simulations underlie the abductions of informal algorithms and deductions from these algorithms. Three experiments tested the theory's predictions, using an environment of a single railway track and a siding. This environment is akin to a universal Tu...
