The emergence of nano-scale memristive devices encouraged many different research areas to exploit their use in multiple applications. One of the proposed applications was to implement synaptic connections in bio-inspired neuromorphic…
Neuromodulation plays a fundamental role in the acquisition of new behaviours. Our experimental findings show that, whereas acetylcholine biases hippocampal synaptic plasticity towards depression, the subsequent application of dopamine can…
Brain-inspired learning mechanisms, e.g. spike timing dependent plasticity (STDP), enable agile and fast on-the-fly adaptation capability in a spiking neural network. When incorporating emerging nanoscale resistive non-volatile memory (NVM)…
Spike-timing dependent plasticity (STDP) which observed in the brain has proven to be important in biological learning. On the other hand, artificial neural networks use a different way to learn, such as Back-Propagation or Contrastive…
Spike-timing dependent plasticity in biological neural networks has been proven to be important during biological learning process. On the other hand, artificial neural networks use a different way to learn, such as Back-Propagation or…
Recent work has shown that dopamine-modulated STDP can solve many of the issues associated with reinforcement learning, such as the distal reward problem. Spiking neural networks provide a useful technique in implementing reinforcement…
We introduce a methodology to implement the physiological transition {between distinct neuronal spiking modes} in electronic circuits composed of resistors, capacitors and transistors. The result is a simple neuromorphic device organized by…
The impressive lifelong learning in animal brains is primarily enabled by plastic changes in synaptic connectivity. Importantly, these changes are not passive, but are actively controlled by neuromodulation, which is itself under the…
An electronic circuit device, inspired on the FitzHugh-Nagumo model of neuronal excitability, was constructed and shown to operate with characteristics compatible with those of biological sensory neurons. The nonlinear dynamical model of…
In this work, the effects of dopamine neurotransmitter within the Cortico-Striatal-Thalamo-Cortical (CSTC) loop have been investigated. Simulations confirmed dopamine facilitates movement via thalamic disinhibition. Analysis of its impact…
As an extension of the pairwise spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) learning rule, the triplet STDP is provided with greater capability in characterizing the synaptic changes in the biological neural cell. In this work, a novel…
This article underlines the learning and discrimination capabilities of a model of associative memory based on artificial networks of spiking neurons. Inspired from neuropsychology and neurobiology, the model implements top-down…
Consolidation of synaptic changes in response to neural activity is thought to be fundamental for memory maintenance over a timescale of hours. In experiments, synaptic consolidation can be induced by repeatedly stimulating presynaptic…
Triplet-based Spike Timing Dependent Plasticity (TSTDP) is a powerful synaptic plasticity rule that acts beyond conventional pair-based STDP (PSTDP). Here, the TSTDP is capable of reproducing the outcomes from a variety of biological…
We present a novel methodology to enable control of a neuromorphic circuit in close analogy with the physiological neuromodulation of a single neuron. The methodology is general in that it only relies on a parallel interconnection of…
The extant versions of many basal ganglia models use a `gating' model of dopamine function which enhances input to D1 receptor units and attenuates input to D2 receptor units. There is evidence that this model is unsatisfactory because (a)…
In this work, we propose time-integrated spike-timing-dependent plasticity (TI-STDP), a mathematical model of synaptic plasticity that allows spiking neural networks to continuously adapt to sensory input streams in an unsupervised fashion.…
Spike-Timing Dependent Plasticity (STDP) is believed to play an important role in learning and the formation of computational function in the brain. The classical model of STDP which considers the timing between pairs of pre-synaptic and…
Substances of abuse are known to activate and disrupt neuronal circuits in the brain reward system. We propose a simple and easily interpretable dynamical systems model to describe the neurobiology of drug addiction that incorporates the…
