Abstract :
Our paper deals with an electronic full-custom circuit designed to accurately model the calcium dependence function of biological neurons. This ASIC is one in a set of modules dedicated for the analog modeling of neural networks and more specifically their use in real-time running hybrid experiments. Measurements and behaviors of modeled neurons are presented in various configurations and compared with theoretical predictions
