Annu Int Conf IEEE Eng Med Biol Soc. 2013:2013:5001-4. doi: 10.1109/EMBC.2013.6610671.

Abstract

In this study, an experimental electronic neuron based on Morris-Lecar model is presented, able to become an experimental unit tool to study collective association of robust coupled neurons. The circuit design is given according to the ionic currents of this model. The experimental results are compared to the theoretical prediction, leading to validate this circuit.
