Exploring gap junction location and density in a network of model neurons with resonant dendrites
An electrical synapse, also known as a gap-junction, is a mechanical and electrically conductive link between two adjacent nerve cells. Without the need for receptors to recognise chemical messengers, gapjunctions are much faster than chemical synapses at relaying signals. From theoretical and modelling studies, it is known that although gap junctions can act to synchronise network output, they...
متن کاملCellular muscle actuators with variable resonant frequencies
This paper presents the design and analysis of a novel variable stiffness and variable resonance actuator based on a cellular arrangement of piezoelectric devices. The cellular muscle actuator design concept is presented followed by a general dynamic model for establishing the theoretical bounds on achievable resonant frequencies. A model that is specific to the proposed design is then formulat...
متن کاملEstimation of -Factors and Resonant Frequencies
We estimate the quality factor and resonant frequency of a microwave cavity based on observations of a resonance curve on an equally spaced frequency grid. The observed resonance curve is the squared magnitude of an observed complex scattering parameter. We characterize the variance of the additive noise in the observed resonance curve parametrically. Based on this noise characterization, we es...
متن کاملTowards the memory capacity of neurons with active dendrites
Active dendrites can be viewed as linear classi"ers augmented by a few second-order product terms representing multiplicative synaptic interactions [4]. To quantify the degree to which local synaptic interactions could augment the memory capacity of a neuron, we have studied the family of `subsampled quadratica (SQ) classi"ers. Each SQ classi"er is a linear classi"er augmented by a subset k of ...
متن کاملResonances and resonant frequencies for a class of nonlinear systems
Resonant phenomena for a class of nonlinear systems, which can be described by a single-degree-of-freedom (sdof) model with a polynomial-type nonlinear stiffness, are investigated using nonlinear output frequency response functions (NOFRFs). The concepts of resonance and resonant frequencies are proposed for this class of nonlinear systems using the NOFRF concept, and the effects of damping on ...
