Synaptic Signaling01:12

Synaptic Signaling

79.5K
Neurons communicate at synapses, or junctions, to excite or inhibit the activity of other neurons or target cells, such as muscles. Synapses may be chemical or electrical.

Synaptic Signaling

6.7K
Neurons communicate at synapses, or junctions, to excite or inhibit the activity of other neurons or target cells, such as muscles. Synapses may be chemical or electrical.
Most synapses are chemical, meaning an electrical impulse or action potential spurs the release of chemical messengers called neurotransmitters. The neuron sending the signal is called the presynaptic neuron, and the neuron receiving the signal is the postsynaptic neuron.
The presynaptic neuron fires an action potential that...

Weighted Mean00:57

Weighted Mean

6.3K
While taking the arithmetic, geometric, or harmonic mean of a sample data set, equal importance is assigned to all the data points. However, all the values may not always be equally important in some data sets. An intrinsic bias might make it more important to give more weightage to specific values over others.
For example, consider the number of goals scored in the matches of a tournament. While computing the average number of goals scored in the tournament, it may be more important to...

Issues And Trends In Healthcare Delivery System

6.3K
The issues and trends in healthcare delivery are constantly changing. The COVID-19 pandemic is one recent issue that wreaked havoc on healthcare systems, causing a shortage of healthcare workers, high demand for medicines and supplies, and increased medical expenditure due to a lack of insurance. Other issues include rising healthcare costs and care fragmentation.
Cost Containment
Payment for healthcare services has historically promoted adoption of costly and often unnecessary or inefficient...

Area of Science:

  • Computational Neuroscience
  • Hardware Engineering
  • Artificial Intelligence

Background:

  • Traditional computational neuroscience relies on high-precision (64-bit) floating-point arithmetic for synaptic plasticity.
  • High precision in dedicated hardware implementations leads to substantial penalties in memory, computing, communication, and energy consumption.
  • Optimizing resource usage is critical for efficient hardware engineering of neurocomputational systems.

  • To investigate the feasibility and performance of 1-bit precision for synaptic weights in Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs).
  • To apply 1-bit precision Spike-Timing-Dependent-Plasticity (STDP) learning rules to neurocomputational tasks.
  • To evaluate the resource efficiency and performance of 1-bit STDP on Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) hardware.

Main Methods:

  • Developed and applied techniques for 1-bit precision synaptic weights within an STDP learning rule for SNNs.
  • Validated 1-bit STDP operation by replicating a visual orientation tuning experiment with a four-neuron setup.
  • Integrated 1-bit STDP into the feature extraction layer of a two-layer system and tested on spiking datasets (DVS poker, MNIST) using MegaSim and FPGA implementation.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated successful operation of 1-bit synapses STDP in replicating biological visual orientation tuning.
