IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks and Learning Systems
|October 15, 2020
Summary
This study introduces an adaptive event-triggered sampled-data control (ETSDC) for synchronizing reaction-diffusion neural networks (RDNNs) with delays. The adaptive mechanism efficiently conserves communication resources by adjusting thresholds dynamically.
Area of Science:
- Control Systems Engineering
- Computational Neuroscience
- Network Synchronization
Background:
- Reaction-diffusion neural networks (RDNNs) are crucial for modeling complex spatio-temporal dynamics.
- Synchronization of RDNNs is essential for information processing and pattern recognition.
- Existing event-triggered control schemes often use fixed thresholds, limiting resource efficiency.
Purpose of the Study:
- To design an adaptive event-triggered sampled-data control (ETSDC) mechanism for synchronizing RDNNs.
- To address random time-varying delays in RDNNs.
- To enhance communication resource efficiency in control systems.
Main Methods:
- Development of an adaptive ETSDC mechanism with dynamically adjusted thresholds.
- Incorporation of probabilistic random time-varying delays within two intervals.
- Construction of a Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional (LKF) for stability analysis.
- Derivation of new synchronization criteria using linear matrix inequalities (LMIs).
Main Results:
- The proposed adaptive ETSDC mechanism effectively synchronizes RDNNs with random delays.
- The adaptive threshold adjustment significantly conserves communication bandwidth.
- New, robust synchronization criteria were derived and validated.
- The control gain was successfully obtained by solving LMIs.
Conclusions:
- The adaptive ETSDC strategy offers superior communication efficiency compared to traditional methods.
- The developed synchronization criteria are effective for RDNNs with complex delay characteristics.
- Numerical simulations confirm the efficacy and advantages of the proposed control scheme.

Integration of Synaptic Events
3.2K
Synaptic integration mainly includes the summation of graded potentials. Graded potentials, regardless of their type, cause subtle alterations in membrane voltage, resulting in either depolarization or hyperpolarization. These incremental changes, when combined or summed, can propel the neuron toward its threshold. Consider, for example, a membrane experiencing a +15 mV shift, causing it to depolarize from -70 mV to -55 mV. In this scenario, graded potentials govern the membrane's ability to...

Chemical Synapses
10.8K
Chemical synapses are specialized sites between two neurons or between a neuron and a non-neuronal cell like a muscle, glandular or sensory cell.
Because chemical synapses depend on the release of neurotransmitter molecules from synaptic vesicles to pass on their signal, there is an approximately one millisecond delay between when the axon potential reaches the presynaptic terminal and when the neurotransmitter leads to opening of postsynaptic ion channels. Additionally, this signaling is...

Neural Circuits
2.4K
Neural circuits and neuronal pools are two of the main structures found in the nervous system. Neural circuits are networks of neurons that work together to carry out a specific task or process. They consist of interconnected neurons and glial cells, which provide structural and metabolic support.
Neuronal pools are collections of nerve cells with similar functions and interact through chemical and electrical signals. These pools include both interneurons (the central neural circuit nodes that...

Synaptic Signaling
6.3K
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...
