Abstract: The place cells in the hippocampus constitute a vital component of the brain’s internal spatial positioning system, engaging in the construction of cognitive maps of the external environment for animals. This study introduces a place cell neural network model based on the Reduced Traub-Miles (RTM) model, employing a neural energy coding approach. It quantitatively describes the attenuation pattern of place cell cluster firing power, constructing an energy field model. The model utilizes energy field gradients to resolve positioning and navigation tasks. The result shows that the model can effectively construct and update the cognitive map to realize the way finding task. It verifies the importance of place cells and synapses in spatial memory, proves that energy coding is effective for the study of cognitive activities, and provides a theoretical basis for understanding the neurodynamic mechanism of spatial memory.
