Communication in nano devices: Electronic based biophysical model of a neuron

In this study, a novel simple electronic integrate and fire model which has been designed previously was further developed and used to simulate and analyze the communication of neurons. The proposed electronic model not only simulates the neuronal cell’s behavior and also can transmit the information to the following neuron. The rate of correct transmission depends on the synaptic channel model. The characteristics of the used semiconductor components with overall structure of the proposed electronic model are very close to the biophysical nature of neuron and can be designed on semiconductor chips which is the advantage of the model.
