Memristor Bridge Synapse Application for Integrate and Fire and Hodgkin-Huxley Neuron Cell

Authors

Abstract:

Memory resistor or memristor is already fabricated successfully using current nano dimension technology. Based on its unique hysteresis, the amount of resistance remains constant over time, controlled by the time, the amplitude, and the polarity of the applied voltage. The unique hysteretic current-voltage characteristic in the memristor causes this element to act as a non-volatile resistive memory, to store the information till the next perturbation. In this paper, a bridge consisting of four memristors is introduced as a synapse to connect the two neuron cells, leaky integrate-and-fire, and Hodgkin-Huxley neuron cells. The use of memristor bridge synapse in the proposed architecture solves one of the major problems, regarding nonvolatile weight storage in analog neural network implementations. By changing different values of each memristor, the synaptic weight will be programmable. The current-voltage characteristics and their weight variations will be examined in the behavior of neuron spikes.

Integrate-and-fire and Hodgkin–Huxley models with current inputs

Abstract For the integrate-and-fire model and the Hodgkin–Huxley model, we consider how current inputs including α-wave and square-wave affect their outputs. Firstly the usual approximation is employed to approximate the models with current inputswhich quantitatively reveals the difference between instantaneous and noninstantaneous (current) inputs. When the rising time of α-wave inputs is long...

A new circuit model for the Parameters in equations of low power Hodgkin-Huxley neuron cell

In this paper, α and β parameters and gating variables equations of Hodgkin-Huxley neuron cell have been studied. Gating variables show opening and closing rate of ion flow of calcium and potassium in neuron cell. Variable functions α and β, are exponential functions in terms of u potential that have been obtained by Hodgkin and Huxley experimentally to adjust the equations of neural cells. In ...

A quantitative comparison between spike-train responses of Hodgkin-Huxley and integrate-and-fire neurons

Spike-train responses of single Hodgkin-Huxley (HH) and integrate-and-fire (IF) neurons with and without the refractory period, are calculated and compared. The HH and IF neurons are assumed to receive spike-train inputs with the constant interspike intervals (ISIs) and stochastic ISIs given by the Gamma distribution, through excitatory and inhibitory synaptic couplings: for both the couplings ...

Spike patterning in oxytocin neurons: Capturing physiological behaviour with Hodgkin-Huxley and integrate-and-fire models

Integrate-and-fire (IF) models can provide close matches to the discharge activity of neurons, but do they oversimplify the biophysical properties of the neurons? A single compartment Hodgkin-Huxley (HH) model of the oxytocin neuron has previously been developed, incorporating biophysical measurements of channel properties obtained in vitro. A simpler modified integrate-and-fire model has also ...

Behavior of integrate-and-fire and Hodgkin-Huxley models with correlated inputs.

We assess, both numerically and theoretically, how positively correlated Poisson inputs affect the output of the integrate-and-fire and Hodgkin-Huxley models. For the integrate-and-fire model the variability of efferent spike trains is an increasing function of input correlation, and of the ratio between inhibitory and excitatory inputs. Interestingly for the Hodgkin-Huxley model the variabilit...
