Unsupervised Learning in an Ensemble of Spiking Neural Networks Mediated by ITDP.

PLoS computational biology
We propose a biologically plausible architecture for unsupervised ensemble learning in a population of spiking neural network classifiers. A mixture of experts type organisation is shown to be effective, with the individual classifier outputs combine...

Developmental metaplasticity in neural circuit codes of firing and structure.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
Firing-rate dynamics have been hypothesized to mediate inter-neural information transfer in the brain. While the Hebbian paradigm, relating learning and memory to firing activity, has put synaptic efficacy variation at the center of cortical plastici...

Spike-timing-dependent plasticity enhanced synchronization transitions induced by autapses in adaptive Newman-Watts neuronal networks.

Bio Systems
In this paper, we numerically study the effect of spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) on synchronization transitions induced by autaptic activity in adaptive Newman-Watts Hodgkin-Huxley neuron networks. It is found that synchronization transitio...

Demonstrating Hybrid Learning in a Flexible Neuromorphic Hardware System.

IEEE transactions on biomedical circuits and systems
We present results from a new approach to learning and plasticity in neuromorphic hardware systems: to enable flexibility in implementable learning mechanisms while keeping high efficiency associated with neuromorphic implementations, we combine a ge...

A neuromorphic model of motor overflow in focal hand dystonia due to correlated sensory input.

Journal of neural engineering
OBJECTIVE: Motor overflow is a common and frustrating symptom of dystonia, manifested as unintentional muscle contraction that occurs during an intended voluntary movement. Although it is suspected that motor overflow is due to cortical disorganizati...

Functional Relevance of Different Basal Ganglia Pathways Investigated in a Spiking Model with Reward Dependent Plasticity.

Frontiers in neural circuits
The brain enables animals to behaviorally adapt in order to survive in a complex and dynamic environment, but how reward-oriented behaviors are achieved and computed by its underlying neural circuitry is an open question. To address this concern, we ...

Quadrupedal Robot Locomotion: A Biologically Inspired Approach and Its Hardware Implementation.

Computational intelligence and neuroscience
A bioinspired locomotion system for a quadruped robot is presented. Locomotion is achieved by a spiking neural network (SNN) that acts as a Central Pattern Generator (CPG) producing different locomotion patterns represented by their raster plots. To ...

Organic core-sheath nanowire artificial synapses with femtojoule energy consumption.

Science advances
Emulation of biological synapses is an important step toward construction of large-scale brain-inspired electronics. Despite remarkable progress in emulating synaptic functions, current synaptic devices still consume energy that is orders of magnitud...

Reaction-diffusion-like formalism for plastic neural networks reveals dissipative solitons at criticality.

Physical review. E
Self-organized structures in networks with spike-timing dependent synaptic plasticity (STDP) are likely to play a central role for information processing in the brain. In the present study we derive a reaction-diffusion-like formalism for plastic fee...

Dynamic cerebral reorganization in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia: a MRI-derived cortical thickness study.

Psychological medicine
BACKGROUND: A structural neuroanatomical change indicating a reduction in brain tissue is a notable feature of schizophrenia. Several pathophysiological processes such as aberrant cortical maturation, progressive tissue loss and compensatory tissue i...
