Abstract

A biomimetic carbon nanotube synapse, the portion of the neuron that receives inputs from other neurons, has been fabricated in the laboratory as an analog circuit. The waveforms input to the synapse and output from the synapse resemble biological waveforms in shape and relative amplitudes and durations. This working circuit is an important first step towards the use of nanotechnology for biomimetic neural circuits and neural prosthesis.
