Abstract
In the field of biocomputing and neural networks, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) strand displacement (DSD) technology performs well in computation, programming, and information processing. In this article, the multiplication gate, addition gate, and threshold gate based on DSD are used to cascade into a single DNA neuron. Multiple DNA neurons can be cascaded to form different neural networks. The DNA neural networks are designed to implement seven classical conditioned reflexes from Pavlovian associative memory experiments. A classical conditioned reflex is a combination of a conditioned stimulus (CS) and another un CS with a reward or punishment. So that the individual develops a conditioned reflex that is similar to an unconditioned reflex in the use of CS alone. The seven classical conditioned reflexes include acquisition and forgetting, interstimulus interval effect, blocking, conditioned inhibition, overshadowing, generation, and differentiation. The simulations are verified by the software visual DSD. This article provides a direction for the integration of biology and psychology.
