aVLSI Array of Spiking Neurons with Dynamical Synapses
نویسنده
چکیده
A design for a spiking neuron with dynamical synapses is presented. Both the neuron and synapse are intended for a large scale neural network connected through an AER bus. The neuron design is a standard integrate-and-fire model with the appropriate interfacing circuits. The synapse, however, models several features from biology including a conductance, between the membrane voltage and synaptic reversal potential, that dynamically changes in response to spike frequency.

Integrate-and-fire neurons with spike-timing-dependent plasticity
In the past few years we have seen an increasing number of projects and demonstrations at the Telluride Neuromorphic Engineering Workshops that involve multi-chip spiking systems interfaced via the address-event representation (AER). Indeed, a renewed interest in spiking neural networks is leading to the design and fabrication of an increasing number of VLSI AER devices that implement various t...
متن کامل(S)- 3,5-Dihydroxyphenylglycine )an agonist for group I metabotropic glutamate receptors( induced synaptic potentiation at excitatory synapses on fast spiking GABAergic cells in visual cortex
Introduction: (S)- 3,5-Dihydroxyphenylglycine (DHPG) is an agonist for group I metabotropic glutamate receptors. DHPG-induced synaptic depression of excitatory synapses on hippocampal pyramidal neurons is well known model for synaptic plasticity studies. The aim of the present study was to examine the effects of DHPG superfusion on excitatory synapses on pyramidal and fast-spiking GABAergic cel...
متن کاملA wide-field direction-selective aVLSI spiking neuron
We describe an analog Very-Large-Scale Integrated (aVLSI) wide-field direction-selective spiking neuron that responds robustly to both natural and artificial images. The circuitry is based on a model of the wide-field direction-selective neurons in the fly visual system. The architecture of the chip closely follows the anatomical layout of the fly visual system. The circuit has a one-dimensiona...
متن کاملA Push-pull Model of Orientation-selectivity in a Hybrid Vlsi System of Spiking Neurons
We describe the use of a programmable, rewireable, multi-chip aVLSI neu-ronal system in creating orientation-selective spiking neurons with various receptive fields using a feedforward model. The multi-chip system consists of a silicon retina, an asynchronous router board, and a transceiver multi-neuron chip. The three modules communicate using the asynchronous ar-bitered address-event represen...
متن کاملEfficient Event-Driven Simulation of Large Networks of Spiking Neurons and Dynamical Synapses
A simulation procedure is described for making feasible large-scale simulations of recurrent neural networks of spiking neurons and plastic synapses. The procedure is applicable if the dynamic variables of both neurons and synapses evolve deterministically between any two successive spikes. Spikes introduce jumps in these variables, and since spike trains are typically noisy, spikes introduce s...
