A digital synthesis of hindmarsh-rose neuron: A thalamic neuron model of the brain

In recent years, understanding of the brain and its behavior has been an active research field targeting for variety of applications such as: founding new solutions to cure brain diseases, better designation of robots and study of neural network´s behavior. In this scheme, the main concept is neuron model as a building block of neural networks. Until now a large variety of the neuron models have been developed. One of these models is biological Hindmarsh-Rose neuron model which it mimics the thalamic neurons of the brain. This paper proposes a digital structure for Hindmarsh-Rose neuron model. Simulation results verify that the proposed circuit can reproduce the spiking pattern, successfully.
