  • Abstract
    This paper discusses a novel artificial synapse implementation utilizing a PIC microcontroller. This artificial synapse controls a postsynaptic neuron based upon the frequency of pulses input from a presynaptic neuron. The artificial synapse is constructed to interface the Lymnaea stagnalis neuron and a neuron emulator capable of simulating this type of neuron.
