The Agent Brain: A Neuroscience-Inspired Framework for Understanding AI Agent Architecture

Key Points

• The aim is to explore the relationship between components of AI agents and their human neuroanatomy counterparts.
• Systematic mapping of 14 components of AI agents to human neuroanatomy
• Analysis of functional analogs in biological and artificial systems
• Verification and correction of 39 bibliography references
• Mapped components include working memory relating to the prefrontal cortex
• Identified context compaction as analogous to sleep consolidation
• Demonstrated structurally analogous solutions in both AI and human systems
