Efficient implementation of the Hodgkin-Huxley potassium channel via a single volatile memristor by Lennart P. L. Landsmeer, Lennart P. L. Landsmeer, Erbing Hua, Heba Abunahla, Muhammad Ali Siddiqi, Muhammad Ali Siddiqi, Muhammad Ali Siddiqi, Ryoichi Ishihara, Chris I. De Zeeuw, Chris I. De Zeeuw, Said Hamdioui, Christos Strydis, Christos Strydis

“…By scaling the passive circuitry around the memristors, we show that they capture the essential mechanisms of potassium ion-channels, although spike height is reduced due to strong non-linear voltage-dependence. Still, by cascading multiple compartments, typical spike propagation is retained.DiscussionThis is the first demonstration of a voltage-controlled memristor replicating the Hodgkin-Huxley potassium channel, validating its potential for more efficient brain simulation hardware.…”
