    Optimization methods for spiking neurons and networks. Ieee
    Transactions on Neural Networks 2010;21(12):1950-62.
    Spiking neurons and spiking neural circuits are finding uses in a multitude of tasks such as robotic locomotion control, neuroprosthetics, visual sensory processing, and audition. The desired neural output is achieved through the use of complex neuron models, or by combining multiple simple neurons into a network. In either case, a means for configuring the neuron or neural circuit is required. Manual manipulation of parameters is both time consuming and non-intuitive due to the nonlinear relationship between parameters and the neuron's output. The complexity rises even further as the neurons are networked and the systems often become mathematically intractable. In large circuits, the desired behavior and timing of action potential trains may be known but the timing of the individual action potentials is unknown and unimportant, whereas in single neuron systems the timing of individual action potentials is critical. In this paper, we automate the process of finding parameters. To configure a single neuron we derive a maximum likelihood method for configuring a neuron model, specifically the Mihalas-Niebur Neuron. Similarly, to configure neural circuits, we show how we use genetic algorithms (GAs) to configure parameters for a network of simple integrate and fire with adaptation neurons. The GA approach is demonstrated both in software simulation and hardware implementation on a reconfigurable custom very large scale integration chip.

    other into pacemaker mode to drive movement by activating nmda
    receptors. Journal of Neuroscience 2010;30(49):16609-20.
    Rhythmic activity is central to brain function. In the vertebrate CNS, the neuronal circuits for breathing and locomotion involve inhibition and also neurons acting as pacemakers, but identifying the neurons responsible has proven difficult. By studying simple hatchling Xenopus laevis tadpoles, we have already identified a population of electrically coupled hindbrain neurons (dINs) that drive swimming. During rhythm generation, dINs release glutamate to excite each other and activate NMDA receptors (NMDARs). The resulting depolarization enables a network mechanism for swimming rhythm generation that depends on reciprocal inhibition between antagonistic right and left sides. Surprisingly, a surgically isolated hemi-CNS without inhibition can still generate swimming-like rhythms. We have now discovered that activation of NMDARs transforms dINs, which normally fire singly to current injection, into pacemakers firing within the normal swimming frequency range (10–25 Hz). When dIN firing is blocked pharmacologically, this NMDAR activation produces 10 Hz membrane potential oscillations that persist when electrical coupling is blocked but not when the voltage-dependent gating of NMDARs by Mg2+ is removed. The NMDA-induced oscillations and pacemaker firing at swimming frequency are unique to the dIN population and do not occur in other spinal neurons. We conclude that NMDAR-mediated self-resetting switches critical neurons that drive swimming into pacemaker mode only during locomotion where it provides an additional, parallel mechanism for rhythm generation. This allows rhythm generation in a half-CNS and raises the possibility that such concealed pacemaker properties may be present underlying rhythm generation in other vertebrate brain networks.
