Figure 5

Simulations where specific portions of the neural layers were blocked for traversal (dark hatched regions) show the model’s capability of solving complex planning problems. Note, that especially in the very fine structure of Fig. 5c leftover excitation can trigger waves apparently spontaneously in the simulation region, such as at the right center at \(t={83}\,\hbox {ms}\). As the corresponding neurons are not constantly stimulated, these are usually singular events that do not disturb the overall process (Supplementary Videos).
