One of the representative synaptic behaviors is paired-pulse facilitation (PPF). It has been widely investigated because it is regarded to be related to biological memory. However, plasticity behavior is only part of the human brain memory behavior.Methods: Here, we present a phenomenon which is opposite to PPF, i.e., paired-pulse inhibition (PPI), in nano oxide devices for the first time.

The device physics mechanism behind memory loss behavior was investigated. This mechanism is sustained by historical memory and degradation manufactured by device trauma to regulate characteristically stimulated origins of artificial transmission behaviors.Results: Under the trauma of a memory device, both the signal amplitude and signal time stimulated by a pulse are lower than the first signal stimulated by a previous pulse in the PPF, representing a new scenario in the struggle for memory. In this way, more typical human brain behaviors could be simulated, including the effect of age on latency and error generation, cerebellar infarct, trauma and memory loss pharmacological actions (such as those caused by hyoscines and nitrazepam).Conclusion: Thus, this study developed a new approach for implementing the manner in which the brain works in semiconductor devices for improving medical research.Keywords: artificial bio synapses, ion dynamics, PPI, paired-pulse pulse inhibition, memory lossDai MWu ZQi SHuo CZhang QZhang XWebster TJZhang HDove Medical Pressarticleartificial bio synapsesion dynamicsppi (paired-pulse pulse inhibition)memory loss.Medicine (General)R5-920ENInternational Journal of Nanomedicine, Vol Volume 15, Pp 1863-1870 (2020) |
