  2. SNN based Brain Model

  3. Endocannabinoid Mediated Self Repair • DSE is very local: 2-AG travels ~20nM. • e-SP is local and far reaching: astrocyte releases glutamate at all contacted synapses. • e-SP signalling pathway: proposed mechanism of self repair for damaged or low PR synapses. • If neuron does not fire due to damaged synapse no 2-AG emitted (No DSE). However, PR increased via astrocyte stimulation by neighbouring neurons releasing 2-AG. Navarrete, M., & Araque, A (2010). Endocannabinoids Potentiate Synaptic Transmission Through Stimulation of Astrocytes, Neuron, 68(1), 113-126.

  5. 2-AG (DSE) e-SP 2-AG Endocannabinoid Mediated Self Repair

  6. Endocannabinoid Mediated Self Repair Self-repair in a Bi-directionally Coupled Astrocyte-Neuron (AN) System based on Retrograde Signalling, Special Topic: Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 26 September 2012

  7. Need to consider Probability of Release in STDP rule - used the BCM rule for now but need to re-visit this again δω ωp δt ωd

  8. Distributed Self Repair

  10. Conclusion • Implemented an self-repairing SNN • Based on an “astro-centric” topology • Targeting IEEE TNNLS plus a conference paper (ICANN 2014) • Next step is a demonstrator of Self-Repair: EPSRC bid
