Abstract :
A description is given of CMOS electronic circuits which emulate natural neurons at a more detailed level than that typically used by artificial neural network models. A pulse-firing circuit which realizes general short-term neuron dynamics is discussed. Both fixed and programmable synapse circuits for realizing long-term dynamics are also described. Together, these establish the basic structures required for the implementation of programmable impulse neural networks
