Abstract

Brains Are Made

of Memristors
1. This exposition shows that the potassium ion-channels and the sodium ion-
channels that are distributed over the entire length of the axons of our
neurons are in fact locally-active memristors.In particular, they exhibit all of
the fingerprints of memristors, including the characteristic pinched
hysteresis Lissajous figures in the voltage-current plane, whose loop areas
shrinkas the frequency of the periodic excitation signal increases.

2. Since synapse and axons are the two fundamental components of

neurons responsible for computation and information processing in
the brain, and since both synapses and axons can be emulated
electronically by locall ypassive memristors, and locally-active
memristors respectively
