Abstract

An analog electronic neuron for modeling neuronal networks and for teaching purposes is presented. The circuitry represents a new approach, since ionic channels are all modeled by fast relay switches in combination with resistors. Thus, the synapse design includes nonlinear PSP superposition and reversal potentials. The spike is modeled with Na+ and K+ currents. Detailed circuit diagrams and examples of performance are given. Besides its use in network research, the model has been successfully used over 3 years of teaching practice.
