  • Animals flexibly change their behavior depending on context. It is reported that the hippocampus is one of the most prominent regions for contextual behaviors, and its sequential activity shows context dependency. However, how such context-dependent sequential activity is established through reorganization of neuronal activity (remapping) is unclear. To better understand the formation of hippocampal activity and its contribution to context-dependent flexible behavior, we present a novel biologically plausible reinforcement learning model. In this model, Context selector promotes the formation of context-dependent sequential activity and allows for flexible switching of behavior in multiple contexts. This model reproduces a variety of findings from neural activity, optogenetic inactivation, human fMRI, and clinical research. Furthermore, our model predicts that imbalances in the ratio between sensory and contextual representations in Context selector account for schizophrenia (SZ) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD)-like behaviors.
