Abstract An analog VLSI implementation of synaptic modification in realistic neurons is presented. The implementation uses CMOS integrated circuit technology to emulate the electrical behaviors of the neuron membrane, dendrite, and synapse, using principles based on the actual biology. The synapse circuitry includes a mechanism for the modification of the synaptic conductance. The circuits were simulated, layed out, and submitted for fabrication .

متن کاملA VLSI recurrent network of integrate-and-fire neurons connected by plastic synapses with long-term memory
Electronic neuromorphic devices with on-chip, on-line learning should be able to modify quickly the synaptic couplings to acquire information about new patterns to be stored (synaptic plasticity) and, at the same time, preserve this information on very long time scales (synaptic stability). Here, we illustrate the electronic implementation of a simple solution to this stability-plasticity probl...

متن کاملAnalog implementation of a Kohonen map with on-chip learning
Kohonen maps are self-organizing neural networks that classify and quantify n-dimensional data into a one- or two-dimensional array of neurons. Most applications of Kohonen maps use simulations on conventional computers, eventually coupled to hardware accelerators or dedicated neural computers. The small number of different operations involved in the combined learning and classification process...
