            Abstract : 
We have designed a distributed and locally reprogrammable address event receiver. Incoming address-events are monitored simultaneously by all synapses, allowing for arbitrarily large axonal fan-out without reducing channel capacity. Synapses can change input address, allowing neurons to implement a biologically realistic learning rule locally, with both synapse formation and elimination.
