Cells express a variety of proteins on their surface that allows them to sample the world. These proteins are embedded in the plasma membrane, a bilayer of lipids that surrounds the cell. Since the lipid and protein dimensions are in the nanometer range, they are subject to ther…

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 widespread use of Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) in the Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan has caused a dramatic increase in shockwave-induced mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI), leading mTBI to be dubbed the 'signature injury' of modern warfare. Currently, the pathology of s…
