Developing Analogs for Magnetic Synapses

Abstract

Human brain could easily recognize different objects since it processes sensory and motor signals in parallel. The brain has many neural pathways that can replicate functions to correct small brain changes in development or temporary loss of function through damage [1]. The ability to overcome these changes in development is the result of the neuroplasticity. These changes range from individual neurons making new connections, to systematic adjustments like cortical remapping. The junction between the neuron’s circuits, synapses, are the place to look for neuroplasticity. Synapses dominate the architecture of the brain and are responsible for the massive parallelism. Therefore, researchers are currently seeking engineered material analogs for the particular responses exhibited by biological neuromorphic materials. Neuromorphic systems, which mimic the nervous system in the brain, have recently become known as strong candidates to overcome the technical limitations owing to their proficiency in cognitive [2]. To successfully implement these neuromorphic systems, it is important to research and develop artificial synapses capable of synapse functions.
