            Abstract : 
This paper proposes a neurobiology-based extension of integrate-and-fire models of Radial Basis Function Neural Networks (RBFNN) that adapts to novel stimuli by means of dynamic restructuring of the network´s structural parameters. The new architecture automatically balances synapses modulation, re-centers hidden Radial Basis Functions (RBFs), and stochastically shifts parameter-space decision planes to maintain homeostasis. Example results are provided throughout the paper to illustrate the effects of changes to the RBFNN model.
