This section reviews the research progress on two types of brain structural knowledge: cognitive maps and schemas, including their neural substrates and the construction of neural computational models. It provides foundational insights for developing AI systems.
Cognitive Maps
Cognitive maps encode spatial, conceptual, and relational structures, guiding human cognition and behavior. They are supported by neural substrates like place cells, grid cells, border cells, and object vector cells. Recent studies show they also encode abstract spaces (e.g., auditory frequencies, reward values, semantic spaces).

| Feature | Cognitive Maps | Schemas |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Focus | Concrete configurations (spatial, conceptual, relational) | Abstract structures (task rules, hierarchies, common patterns) |
| Neural Substrates | HPC, MEC, EC, PFC (place, grid, border, object vector cells) | HPC, mPFC, OFC, PFC, MTL (for formation, integration, updating) |
| Level of Abstraction | Specific to environments/tasks | Generalized across multiple scenarios |
| Learning Mechanism | Experience-based exploration, relational binding | Statistical regularity extraction, integration of commonalities |
This section analyzes computational models for cognitive maps and schemas, focusing on their formulation, taxonomy, and abstraction mechanisms. It highlights similarities and differences, serving as a bridge between neuroscience and AI.
| Type | Description | Key Abstraction Mechanisms |
|---|---|---|
| Structure-based | Constructs generalizable state space across diverse contexts. | Continuous attractor, Association (binding operations, Hebbian learning) |
| Prediction-based | Leverages cognitive maps to forecast future states and guide decision-making. | Graph-based, SR-based, Predictive coding, Behavior-map co-evolution |
| Type | Description | Key Abstraction Mechanisms |
|---|---|---|
| Explicitly Learned | Schemas learned in supervised manner or with additional constraints. | Abstract structure (slots, orthogonal vectors, graphs, coarse-grained SR) |
| Implicitly Emergent | Schemas emerge through self-organizing neural network training. | Subspace-based, Subpopulation-based |
This section examines the application of structural knowledge in AI systems, categorizing it into brain-inspired and traditional forms. It also outlines open problems and future directions, demonstrating how bio-inspired mechanisms can offer valuable solutions.
Brain-Inspired AI Models
AI models incorporate brain-inspired structural knowledge via abstraction mechanisms from computational models. Examples include continuous attractor-based for navigation (multi-scale grid encoding), association-based for role-filler binding and continual learning (SMART), and graph-based for transfer learning (CSCG). LLMs are increasingly adopting these mechanisms for spatial reasoning and language understanding.
0 AI Models Integrating Brain-Inspired SKTraditional Structural Knowledge in AI
Traditional AI models leverage implicit embedding-based (DL, Transformers), explicit knowledge graph-based (KGs), and explicit symbolic/rule-based models. KGs enhance causal reasoning, interpretability, and generalization. Symbolic reasoning provides logical explanations. Hybrid models integrate these for enhanced reasoning and interpretability.
0 Enhancement in Causal Reasoning| Challenge | Description | Brain-Inspired Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Systematic Generalization | Struggles with compositional and out-of-distribution knowledge. | Hierarchical organization, decoupled/compositional representations. |
| Lifelong Learning | Catastrophic forgetting, inefficient adaptation, knowledge fusion. | Local synaptic plasticity, experience replay, slow-fast memory integration. |
| Embodied Intelligence | Limited perception-action feedback, multi-modal integration, motor control. | Real-time feedback adaptation, hierarchical cross-modal integration, sensorimotor learning. |
Ethical AI Development
The integration of structural knowledge into AI, while powerful, introduces ethical considerations like algorithmic bias and data privacy. Addressing these requires careful design, diverse data, and privacy-preserving techniques to ensure responsible and trustworthy AI systems.
- Structural Bias: Cognitive maps and schemas can inherit biases from training data.
- Privacy Risks: Inference attacks on sensitive information used to train models.
- Mitigation: Diverse datasets, fairness constraints, differential privacy, homomorphic encryption.
