Brain-inspired approaches can efficiently analyze the activities of biological neural networks and solve computationally hard problems with energy efficiencies unattainable von Neumann architectures, indicating a significant improvement in understanding neuronal communications functionalities. Here, we present brain-inspired multimodal signal processing system organic memristor arrays that pote...

Communication at the nanoscale can enhance capabilities for nanodevices, and at the same time open new opportunities for numerous healthcare applications. One approach towards enabling communication between nanodevices is through molecular communications. While a number of solutions have been proposed for molecular communication (e.g. calcium signaling, molecular motors, bacteria communication)...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW Basic and translational neuroscience findings indicate that normal brain function depends on activity synchronization within distributed brain networks. This conclusion suggests a view of how brain injury causes behavioral deficits that differs from traditional localizationist views. RECENT FINDINGS Novel functional neuroimaging methods demonstrate coherent activity in large...

The conventional computational description of brain operations has to be understood in a metaphorical sense. In this paper arguments supporting the claim that this metaphor is too restrictive are presented. A new metaphor more accurately describing recently discovered emergent characteristics of neuron functionality is proposed and its implications are discussed. A connectionist system fitting ...

The role of gamma frequency oscillation in neuronal interaction, and the relationship between oscillation and information transfer between neurons, has been the focus of much recent research. While the biological mechanisms responsible for gamma oscillation and the properties of resulting networks are well studied, the dynamics of changing phase coherence between oscillating neuronal population...
