Neural Microcircuit

Neural microcircuits are fundamental processing units within the brain, comprising interconnected neurons and synapses that perform specific computations. Current research focuses on understanding their function through computational modeling, often employing spiking neural networks (SNNs) and exploring biologically plausible learning rules like STDP, as well as developing efficient simulation techniques using hardware accelerators like FPGAs and GPUs. This work aims to bridge the gap between biological understanding and artificial intelligence, potentially leading to more efficient and biologically-inspired AI architectures and a deeper understanding of brain function.
