Neural Circuits01:25

Neural Circuits

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...

The Role of Ion Channels in Neuronal Computation01:19

The Role of Ion Channels in Neuronal Computation

3.1K
A postsynaptic neuron usually receives numerous impulses from several other presynaptic neurons. The axon hillock of the postsynaptic neuron integrates all these signals and determines the likelihood of firing an action potential.
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....

Neuronal Communication01:28

Neuronal Communication

750
Neurons, the fundamental units of the brain and nervous system, communicate through complex electrochemical signals that underpin all cognitive and bodily functions. This communication is primarily facilitated by a process involving the generation and propagation of an action potential along the axon of the neuron. When the internal electrical charge of a neuron surpasses a certain threshold, an action potential is triggered. This rapid change in voltage travels swiftly along the axon to the...

Integration of Synaptic Events01:28

Integration of Synaptic Events

1.4K
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...

The Synapse02:47

The Synapse

122.3K
Neurons communicate with one another by passing on their electrical signals to other neurons. A synapse is the location where two neurons meet to exchange signals. At the synapse, the neuron that sends the signal is called the presynaptic cell, while the neuron that receives the message is called the postsynaptic cell. Note that most neurons can be both presynaptic and postsynaptic, as they both transmit and receive information.

Integrator and Differentiator01:13

Integrator and Differentiator

746
Op-amp circuits have significant applications in various fields, including automotive engineering. One such application is cruise control systems in cars, where op-amp circuits are integral for maintaining a constant speed. In these systems, op-amps function as both integrators and differentiators.
An integrator within an op-amp circuit produces an output directly proportional to the integral of the input signal. This is achieved by replacing the feedback resistor in a typical inverting...

    Background:

    • Traditional integrate-and-fire (I&F) neurons in neuromorphic systems prioritize low energy and high density, often lacking the complex dynamics of biological neurons.

    • Introduced additional coupling to a transistor gate within an I&F neuron circuit to induce nonlinear dynamics and chaos.
    • Implemented and experimentally demonstrated the chaotic neuron and its subcircuits on a 350 nm field-programmable analog array (FPAA).
    • Developed a compact simulation model validated against experimental results to confirm the onset of chaos.

    Main Results:

    • The novel chaotic neuron exhibits diverse dynamics, including regular spiking, fast spiking, and chaotic chattering, tunable via circuit parameters and input current.
    • The implemented circuit achieved record-low area (0.0025 mm²), power consumption (1.1-2.6 μW), and transistor count (6T) for a non-driven chaotic system in CMOS.
    • Experimental results were corroborated by simulation models and comparisons with traditional I&F neurons.

    Conclusions:

    • The parsimonious addition of coupling to an I&F neuron effectively creates a compact, low-power chaotic neuron with rich dynamics.
