Biological neural networks

Resources

• In vitro neurons learn and exhibit sentience when embodied in a simulated game-world [https://doi.org/10.1101/2021.12.02.471005]
• FPGA implementation of a biological neural network based on the Hodgkin-Huxley neuron model [https://doi.org/10.3389/fnins.2014.00379]

Organisation

• "The implemented network is the basic component of many neural networks; it has two mini-columns, each has two neural pools: an excitatory pool with 60 neurons and an inhibitory pool with 15 neurons." [https://doi.org/10.3389/fnins.2014.00379]

Models

• Requires using 2nd or 3rd order circuits (n-th order circuits)

Hodgkin-Huxley model

• Based on conductance
• Many versions
• Nonlinear and linear currents through cell membrane
