Robotics and nanorobotics Robotic vision is one of the most
complex sensory system that takesaround 1/3 of human cortex
Robotic today need camera and hugecomputational power
Neurons simplify visual processing, bycompressing information at the source
and apply specific encodings in a formof spikes.
To resolve the problem of high speedmotor control
Decision making-The complex networkof single biological nano-unitsneurons
able to solve the complex problems inmilliseconds by separating the probleminto small problem and resolving themwithout understanding of global picture.

Neurodust
by Michel Maharbiz from
Berkeley
We need some systemthat will be able to
record simultaneously
thousands of individual
neurons in multiple brain
areas. Communication???

Neural system as a communicationchannel
Neural coding: how the activity ofneuron (measured as output)represent input?
When neurons face with new
information they will try to develop astrategy to encode this informationand store it for later usage.

Neural circuits Neurons are interconnected
with one another to formcircuits with dense synaptic
connectivity to process specific
information.
Circuits regulate itself by
feedback loop.
Many neural circuits togetherform a neural system (as many
electronic circuits together form
a computer)

Resource management
Effective resource management in the brain Two targets can be processed simultaneously even in alimited information capacity situation
T1presented first and occupied short term memoryfor 500ms, T2 may not be seen
Brain can be adjusted by training the neurons toeffectively distribute brain resources

Neuronal plasticity
Neuronal plasticity is a fundamental property of the
neuronal tissue. This enables learning and
adaptation.
Activity in neurons can strengthen or weaken
signalling at a synapse.
High activity of neuron leads to recruitment of
more axon terminals from the same neuron.
Reduced activity leads to loss of synapses. If two synapses are active at the same time, the
strength of the postsynaptic response may
increase at both synapses, mediated by long-term
potentiation.
Long-term potentiation (LTP) is a long-lasting
enhancement in signal transmission between two
neurons as a results of synchronous stimulation
LTP plays a major role in memory formation, that
thought to be related to the modification of
synaptic strength

Memory
Memory is attributed to strengthened
synaptic connections among particular brain
neurons, yet synaptic membrane components
are transient, whereas memories can endure.This suggests synaptic information is encoded
and hard-wired elsewhere, e.g. at molecular
levels within the post-synaptic neuron.

Memory storage and retrieval
memoryis the process in whichinformation is encoded, stored, andretrieved.
Encoding or registration: receiving,processing and combining ofreceived information
Storage: creation of a permanentrecord of the encoded information
Retrieval, recall or recollection:calling back the stored information inresponse to some cue for use in aprocess or activity
1 Sensory memory 2 Short-term memory
3 Long-term memory

Cytoskeleton
Cytoskeleton : actin filaments, microtubuline and intermediatefilaments establish the form of neuron, maintains synaptic
connections. It is a part of eukaryotic (absent in bacteria) cells
cytoskeleton.
In the brain tubulin account for 10-20% of all soluble proteins.
Microtubules are hollow tubes formed from tubulin molecules
Microtubule is electrically polar structures composed of and
subunits (which can be a different subtypes, located at differentparts of the cell and involved in different functions (mutation may
lead to a loss of some specific function (sensitivity in nematode)).

Microtubules Microtubules are dynamically instable and undergo
rapid cycles of growth and shrinkage
Microtubules constructed of /heterodimers (
and subunits of tubuline) that compose a
protofilament s, and form a hollow tubule (24 nm)
-tubul ineis bound to DTP
is bound to GDP in microtubule (as it will
hydrolyze from GPT to GDP during the binding
process). The tubuline + GTP at the end is called GTP
cup that will be hydrolysed by binding the rescue
process.
If GTP at the end hydrolysed without binding the
shrinkage will occur - catastrophe
The number of protofilaments can be different from
10 to 15. In mammalian cells is usually 13
Microtubules are interconnected by linking proteins
(microtubule-associated proteins: MAPs) to other
microtubules and cell structures to form
cytoskeletal lattice networks
Microtubule dynamics
growth and shrinkage rates,
rescue and catastrophe frequencies,
sometimes supplemented by pause
duration.
MT formation can be regulated by calcium
signals
