Model files from the paper:
"An explainable artificial intelligence approach to spatial navigation based on hippocampal circuitry 
by Simone Coppolino and Michele Migliore, Neural Networks Elservier, 2022, in press.

The model can be run in the Neurorobotics Platform of the Human Brain Project (https://neurorobotics.net/). 
In this file we report all the steps to install and run the model.
The NRP has an Online and a Local version, we suggest to use the online version. 
Instruction to install the local version through the link: https://bitbucket.org/hbpneurorobotics/neurorobotics-platform/src/master/ 


1) If you do not already have an EBRAINS account, register to create one: https://ebrains.eu/register/

2) Login into the NRP platform with your EBRAINS/HBP credentials (Chrome or Mozilla browsers): https://neurorobotics.net/access-the-nrp.html

3) Extract the zip file in the personal computer

4) Import all folders in NRP account. 

5) Initializate the simulation by clicking on the launch button (it can take up to a few minutes)

6) Click on the play button and enjoy the simulation.

Some additional infos:

The model is in two parts, learning and recall. It permits to write the synaptic weights during the learning phase, in CSV files.
In this way it is possibile to use them for the recall phase using the following steps:

a) Near the launch button, in your NRP home, there is the "files" button. Clicking on this shows all the files in the simulation.
b) On the left, under the name of simulation, there is the CSV_records folder. In that folder there are all the CSV files.
c) Download all of them.
d) Upload the files in the recall simulation. It's not necessary create a new folder, just put the CSV file in the main folder (which contains the TFs and Brain)
