22-10 Behavioral change of neural network by bi-directional stimulation between sending and receiving neurons

Abstract

Data communication in neuronal network is performed electrically by propagation of membrane potential generated at individual neurons. Clarifying the mechanism of data communication in the neuronal network, to investigate spike propagation in the neuronal network is essential. Therefore, we simulated a 30x30 mesh arrayed neuronal network with Hebbian leaning. As results of the simulation, the number of synchronized spike was significantly greater when spike propagation of a neuron collided with spike propagation from another neuron. This result suggests that the collision of the spike forms logical connection of data communication, or associative memory.
