Functional Brain Anatomy for AIs
Perhaps the biggest thing our brain does for us after action and homeostasis is remembering the past ( Memory ) which is mediated by changes through time ( Plasticity ). Both are important for our survival and presumably will be required in some form for advanced AIs ( like CAIs and AGIs ) and so this is a brief summary of what the brain does in those fields along with related structures, we’ll also look at contrasting them with current AIs and highlight things that are not there yet or could be eventually ported.

The life story of a basic memory from a systems point of view goes something like this, it starts by you perceiving the environment through specialized receptors and encoding some aspects of it, for we are limited into how much information we can process at any given time.
Like many things in neuroscience there are knowledge gaps and conflicting theories, memory and plasticity are no exceptions and so I'll…
