We prove that MINERVA 2, a widely-used model of biologi-cal long-term memory, is mathematically equivalent to anauto-associative memory implemented as a fourth order ten-sor. We further propose an alternative implementation ofMINERVA 2 as a holographic lateral inhibition network. Ourwork clarifies the relationship between MINERVA 2 and othermemory models, and shows that MINERVA 2 and derivativemodels can be neurally implemented and scaled-up to long-term learning tasks.
