Short-Term Depression in VLSI Stochastic Synapse

Peng Xu, Timothy K. Horiuchi, Pamela Abshire
2008 Neural Information Processing Systems  
We report a compact realization of short-term depression (STD) in a VLSI stochastic synapse. The behavior of the circuit is based on a subtractive single release model of STD.  ...  The dynamic stochastic synapse could potentially be a powerful addition to existing deterministic VLSI spiking neural systems.  ...  However, the application of such dynamic stochastic synapses in large networks still remains a challenge.  ...

Neuromorphic Bistable VLSI Synapses with Spike-Timing-Dependent Plasticity

Giacomo Indiveri
2002 Neural Information Processing Systems  
In these types of synapses, the short-term dynamics of the synaptic efficacies are governed by the relative timing of the pre-and post-synaptic spikes, while on long time scales the efficacies tend asymptotically  ...  We fabricated a prototype VLSI chip containing a network of integrate and fire neurons interconnected via bistable STDP synapses.  ...  And if the short-term dynamics drive V w0 below threshold, we say that long-term depression (LTD) has been induced.  ...
