Abstract :
The authors have developed a silicon neuron that exhibits properties similar to those of the Morris-Lecar neuron. The Morris-Lecar model is a two-state mathematical model that possesses physiological properties similar to those of actual neurons. The circuit behaviour is analysed, based on the geometry of nullclines in state space and analytical results are compared with experimental data for a circuit implemented in a 2 μm n-well process
