This paper introduces a novel class of chaotic attractors by lever- aging different activation functions within neurons possessing multiple dendrites. We propose a comprehensive framework where the activation functions in neurons are varied, allowing for diverse behaviors such as amplification, fluctuation, and folding of scrolls within the resulting chaotic attractors. By employing wavelet functions and other model-specific activation functions, we demonstrate the capability to modify scroll characteristics, including size and direction. Furthermore, a model featuring neurons with varied activation functions is elaborated upon, showcasing the versatility of this approach. Through numerical simulations, we validate the efficacy of our proposed theoretical frame-work, offering new insights into the behavior of chaotic attractors. The results highlight the potential for generating higher-dimensional hyperchaotic attractors with enhanced complexity and applicability in various domains. Numerical simulations are given to show the effectiveness of the proposed theoretical results using C + + .

Nervous Tissue: Neuron Types
Structurally, neurons are categorized into three main types: multipolar, bipolar, and unipolar (or pseudounipolar). Multipolar neurons, which are the most common type in the brain and spinal cord, as well as all motor neurons, possess multiple dendrites and a single axon.
Bipolar neurons, on the other hand, have one primary dendrite and one axon. They are...
The Role of Ion Channels in Neuronal Computation
Sometimes a single EPSP is strong enough to induce an action potential in the postsynaptic neuron. However, multiple presynaptic inputs must often create EPSPs around the same time for the postsynaptic neuron to be sufficiently depolarized to fire an action potential....
