Abstract
An analog VLSI implementation of synaptic modification in realistic neurons is presented. The implementation uses CMOS integrated circuit technology to emulate the electrical behaviors of the neuron membrane, dendrite, and synapse, using principles based on the actual biology. The synapse circuitry includes a mechanism for the modification of the synaptic conductance. The circuits were simulated, layed out, and submitted for fabrication.
