A nonlinear analysis of a mechanical model for biological pattern formation

Refractoriness is one of the most fundamental states of neural firing activity, in which neurons that have just fired are unable to produce another spike, regardless of the strength of afferent stimuli. Another essential and unavoidable feature of ...

CA1 is the main source of efferents from the hippocampus, but the function of the cortical input to CA1 remains unclear. Normal CA1 place field activity is supported by this input after CA3 has been lesioned. However, inhibitory responses are observed ...

An analog hardware neuron model having biological neuron characteristics is proposed and its basic characteristics are reported. The proposed circuit model is constructed from a membrane capacitance part, negative resistance circuit part, and reactance ...
