Abstract :
The hippocampus region of the brain system performs cognitive functions of learning and memory. VLSI design of a hippocampal model has been proposed and two mixed analog-digital chips which use analog circuits for parallel computing and digital circuits for interconnection were designed. The design with one extensive hippocampal neuron has been sent for fabrication. One of the objectives of this research effort is to incorporate adequate biological constraints into the microelectronic chips and systems
