The growth of a neuronal dendritic tree depends on the neuron’s internal state and the environment within which it is situated. Different types of neuron develop dendritic trees with specific characteristics, such as the average number of terminal branches and the average length…

This thesis proposes a novel set of generic and compact biologically plausible VLSI (Very Large Scale Integration) neural circuits, suitable for implementing a parallel VLSI network that closely resembles the function of a small-scale neocortical network. The proposed circuits i…

The adaptation of standard integrated circuit (IC) technology for biosensors in drug discovery pharmacology, neural interface systems, environmental sensors and electrophysiology requires electrodes to be electrochemically stable, biocompatible and affordable. Unfortunately, the…
