A Novel Asynchronous Cellular Automaton Multicompartment Neuron Model

A novel multicompartment neuron model (a novel multicompartment dendrite-soma model), the dynamics of which is described by coupled asynchronous cellular automata, is presented. It is shown that the presented model can reproduce typical dendritic phenomena observed in biological neurons and multicompartment neuron models. It is also shown that the presented model consumes fewer hardware resources than the conventional model. Furthermore, field-programmable gate array experiments validate the reproductions of the dendritic phenomena.
