If you are looking for an answer to the question What is Artificial Intelligence? and you only have a minute, then here's the definition the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence offers on its home page: "the scientific understanding of the mechanisms underlying thought and intelligent behavior and their embodiment in machines."

However, if you are fortunate enough to have more than a minute, then please get ready to embark upon an exciting journey exploring AI (but beware, it could last a lifetime) …

Using hippocampal 'place cells' for navigation, exploiting phase coding

Burgess, Neil, O', Keefe, John, Recce, Michael

These are compared with single unit recordings and behavioural data. The firing of CAl place cells is simulated as the (artificial) rat moves in an environment. Thisis the input for a neuronal network whose output, at each theta (0) cycle, is the next direction of travel for the rat. Cells are characterised by the number of spikes fired and the time of firing with respect to hippocampal 0 rhythm. 'Learning' occurs in'on-off' synapses that are switched on by simultaneous pre-and post-synaptic activity.
