Computational Model of Amygdala Network Supported by Neurobiological Data

Universit´e Bordeaux2, 146 rue L´eo Saignat, 33076 Bordeaux Cedex, FranceAbstract. The amygdala has repeatedly been involved in the pro-cessing of emotional reactions and conditioning. This paper presents aneurobiologically inspired computational model of the emotional mem-ory in aversive behaviors. This artificial neural network aims at partiallyreproduce the same characteristics as the amygdala when it induces theaversive state experienced by individuals with a withdrawal effect.
