Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this studies, a dendritic neuron model (DNM) based on the nonlinear synapses and their nonlinear interaction among them on dendrites was proposed. Compared with the traditional McCluoch & Pitts model, the proposed dendritic neuron model (DNM) was proved thoeritically and by computer simulations to be capable of solving the linear un-seperatable problems with only one DNM neuron. The proposed dendritic neuron model (DNM) was also be proved mathematically and confirmed by computer simulations to be capable of approximating any comples nonlinear continuous functions.Finally, the proposed dendritic neuron model (DNM)also predicted dendritic structures of several actucal neurons successfully.
