Artificial Electrical Morris–Lecar Neuron

In this paper, an experimental electronic neuron based on a complete Morris-Lecar model is presented, which is able to become an experimental unit tool to study collective association of coupled neurons. The circuit design is given according to the ionic currents of this model. The experimental results are compared with the theoretical prediction, leading to a good agreement between them, which therefore validate the circuit. The use of some parts of the circuit is also possible for other neurons models, namely for those based on ionic currents.
