An Astrocyte-Modulated Neuromorphic Central Pattern Generator for Hexapod Robot Locomotion on Intel's Loihi
Ioannis Polykretis, Konstantinos P. Michmizos
Locomotion is a crucial challenge for legged robots that is addressed "effortlessly" by biological networks abundant in nature, named central pattern generators (CPG). The multitud…
Introducing Astrocytes on a Neuromorphic Processor: Synchronization, Local Plasticity and Edge of Chaos
Guangzhi Tang, Ioannis E. Polykretis, Vladimir A. Ivanov +2
While there is still a lot to learn about astrocytes and their neuromodulatory role in the spatial and temporal integration of neuronal activity, their introduction to neuromorphic…
Axonal Conduction Velocity Impacts Neuronal Network Oscillations
Vladimir A. Ivanov, Ioannis E. Polykretis, Konstantinos P. Michmizos
Increasing experimental evidence suggests that axonal action potential conduction velocity is a highly adaptive parameter in the adult central nervous system. Yet, the effects of t…
Computational Astrocyence: Astrocytes encode inhibitory activity into the frequency and spatial extent of their calcium elevations
Ioannis E. Polykretis, Vladimir A. Ivanov, Konstantinos P. Michmizos
Deciphering the complex interactions between neurotransmission and astrocytic elevations is a target promising a comprehensive understanding of brain function. While the…
