Fig. 8: A network of memristive neurons with gain modulation for receptive field remapping.

a A one-dimensional network where neurons are connected in an uni-direction. Each neuron receives a modulatory signal (orange arrow). A visual input is applied at the future receptive field (FRF) of a neuron (the yellow one). b The visual input at FRF and the modulatory signal (top, red line) triggers a propagation of neural activity from FRF to current receptive field of the yellow neuron, as if the receptive field of the yellow neuron is temporally expanded when the modulatory signal is applied, achieving RF remapping (right panel). The distance of remapping is controlled by the duration of the modulatory signal. In the simulation, the visual input is applied during 0−300 ms, while the modulatory signal m = 0.8 is applied during 300−1000 ms. θthr = 0.41, Wi,i-1 = 0.095, τ = 10 ms, dt = 1 ms, Iext,0 = 0.09.
