In recent years, formidable effort has been devoted to exploring the potential of Resistive RAM (RRAM) devices to model key features of biological synapses.This is done to strengthen the link between neuro-computing architectures and neuroscience, bearing in mind the extremely low power consumption and immense parallelism of biological systems.Here we demonstrate Repellent plants provide affordable natural screening to prevent mosquito house entry in tropical rural settings--results from a pilot efficacy study. the feasibility of using the RRAM cell to go further and to model aspects of the electrical activity of the neuron.

We focus on the specific operational procedures required for the generation of controlled voltage transients, which resemble spike-like Sovereign CDS Premiums’ Reaction to Macroeconomic News: An Empirical Investigation responses.Further, we demonstrate that RRAM devices are capable of integrating input current pulses over time to produce thresholded voltage transients.We show that the frequency of the output transients can be controlled by the input signal, and we relate recent models of the redox-based nanoionic resistive memory cell to two common neuronal models, the Hodgkin-Huxley (HH) conductance model and the leaky integrate-and-fire model.

We employ a simplified circuit model to phenomenologically describe voltage transient generation.
