Artificial synapses and neurons are two critical, fundamental bricks for constructing hardware neural networks. Owing to its high-density integration, outstanding nonlinearity, and modulated plasticity, memristors have attracted emerging attention on emulating biological synapses and neurons. However, fabricating a low-power and robust memristor-based artificial neuron without extra electrical components is still a challenge for brain-inspired systems. In this work, we demonstrate a single two-dimensional (2D) MXene(V2C)-based threshold switching (TS) memristor to emulate a leaky integrate-and-fire (LIF) neuron without auxiliary circuits, originating from the Ag diffusion-based filamentary mechanism. Moreover, our V2C-based artificial neurons faithfully achieve multiple neural functions including leaky integration, threshold-driven fire, self-relaxation, and linear strength-modulated spike frequency characteristics. This work demonstrates that three-atom-type MXene (e.g., V2C) memristors may provide an efficient method to construct the hardware neuromorphic computing systems.

Neuronal adaptation as well as interdischarge interval correlations have been shown to be functionally important properties of physiological neurons. We explore the dynamics of a modified leaky integrate-and-fire (LIF) neuron, referred to as the LIF with threshold fatigue, and show that it reproduces these properties. In this model, the postdischarge threshold reset depends on the preceding sequence of discharge times. We show that in response to various classes of stimuli, namely, constant currents, step currents, white gaussian noise, and sinusoidal currents, the model exhibits new behavior compared with the standard LIF neuron. More precisely, (1) step currents lead to adaptation, that is, a progressive decrease of the discharge rate following the stimulus onset, while in the standard LIF, no such patterns are possible; (2) a saturation in the firing rate occurs in certain regimes, a behavior not seen in the LIF neuron; (3) interspike intervals of the noise-driven modified LIF under constant current are correlated in a way reminiscent of experimental observations, while those of the standard LIF are independent of one another; (4) the magnitude of the correlation coefficients decreases as a function of noise intensity; and (5) the dynamics of the sinusoidally forced modified LIF are described by iterates of an annulus map, an extension to the circle map dynamics displayed by the LIF model. Under certain conditions, this map can give rise to sensitivity to initial conditions and thus chaotic behavior.

Arrays of interacting identical neurons can develop coherent firing patterns, such as moving stripes that have been suggested as possible explanations of hallucinatory phenomena. Other known formations include rotating spirals and expanding concentric rings. We obtain all of them using a novel two-variable description of integrate-and-fire neurons that allows for a continuum formulation of neural fields. One of these variables distinguishes between the two different states of refractoriness and depolarization and acquires topological meaning when it is turned into a field. Hence, it leads to a topologic characterization of the ensuing solitary waves, or excitons. They are limited to pointlike excitations on a line and linear excitations, including all the examples noted above, on a two dimensional surface. A moving patch of firing activity is not an allowed solitary wave on our neural surface. Only the presence of strong inhomogeneity that destroys the neural field continuity allows for the appearance of patchy incoherent firing patterns driven by excitatory interactions.

This study survey and proves this effectiveness connected with artificial neural networks (ANNs) as an alternative approach in the tourism research. The learning utilizes the travel industry in the Japan being a method for estimating need to exhibit the solicitation. The outcome reveals the use of ANNs in tourism research might perhaps result in better quotations when it comes to prediction bias and accuracy. Even more applications of ANNs in the context of tourism demand examination is needed to establish and validate the effects. An ANN is based on a collection of connected units or nodes called artificial neurons, which loosely model the neurons in a biological brain. Each connection, like the synapses in a biological brain, can transmit a signal to other neurons. An artificial neuron that receives a signal then processes it and can signal neurons connected to it.

In the present article, two-dimensional “Spiking Neuron Model” is being compared with the fourdimensional “Integrate-and-fire Neuron Model” (IFN) using error correction back propagation learning algorithm (error correction learning). A comparative study has been done on the basis of several parameters like iteration, execution time, miss-classification rate, number of iterations etc. The authors choose the five-bit parity problem and Iris classification problem for the present study. Results of simulation express that both the models are capable to perform classification task. But single spiking neuron model having two-dimensional phenomena is less complex than Integrate-fire-neuron, produces better results. On the contrary, the classification performance of single ingrate-and-fire neuron model is not very poor but due to complex four-dimensional architecture, miss-classification rate is higher than single spiking neuron model, it means Integrate-and-fire neuron model is less capable than spiking neuron model to solve classification problems.
