The firing rate of single neurons in the mammalian hippocampus has been demonstrated to encode for a range of spatial and non-spatial stimuli. It has also been demonstrated that phase of firing, with respect to the theta oscillation that dominates the hippocampal EEG during stereotype learning behaviour, correlates with an animal's spatial location. These findings have led to the hypothesis that the hippocampus operates using a dual (rate and temporal) coding system. To investigate the phenomenon of dual coding in the hippocampus, we examine a spiking recurrent network model with theta coded neural dynamics and an STDP rule that mediates rate-coded Hebbian learning when pre- and post-synaptic firing is stochastic. We demonstrate that this plasticity rule can generate both symmetric and asymmetric connections between neurons that fire at concurrent or successive theta phase, respectively, and subsequently produce both pattern completion and sequence prediction from partial cues. This unifies previously disparate auto- and hetero-associative network models of hippocampal function and provides them with a firmer basis in modern neurobiology. Furthermore, the encoding and reactivation of activity in mutually exciting Hebbian cell assemblies demonstrated here is believed to represent a fundamental mechanism of cognitive processing in the brain. Changes in the strength of synaptic connections between neurons are believed to mediate processes of learning and memory in the brain. A computational theory of this synaptic plasticity was first provided by Donald Hebb within the context of a more general neural coding mechanism, whereby phase sequences of activity directed by ongoing external and internal dynamics propagate in mutually exciting ensembles of neurons. Empirical evidence for this cell assembly model has been obtained in the hippocampus, where neuronal ensembles encoding for spatial location repeatedly fire in sequence at different phases of the ongoing theta oscillation. To investigate the encoding and reactivation of these dual coded activity patterns, we examine a biologically inspired spiking neural network model of the hippocampus with a novel synaptic plasticity rule. We demonstrate that this allows the rapid development of both symmetric and asymmetric connections between neurons that fire at concurrent or consecutive theta phase respectively. Recall activity, corresponding to both pattern completion and sequence prediction, can subsequently be produced by partial external cues. This allows the reconciliation of two previously disparate classes of hippocampal model and provides a framework for further examination of cell assembly dynamics in spiking neural networks.
