Objective At present, binaryBinary computing systems have encounteredreached bottlenecks in terms of power consumption, operation speed, and storage capacity. In contrast, the biological nervous system seems to have unlimited capacity. The biological nervous system has significant advantages indemonstrates remarkable low-power computing and dynamic storage capability, which is closely relatedattributed to the working mechanism of neurons transmitting neural signals through the directional secretion of neurotransmitters. After analyzing the Hodgkin-–Huxley model of the squid giant axon, Professor Leon Chua proposed that synapses could be composed of locally passive memristors, and neurons could be made up of locally active memristors. The two types of memristors share similar , both exhibiting electrical characteristics with similar to those of nerve fibers. Since the first experimental claim of memristors was claimed to be found, locally active memristive devices have been identified in the research of devices with layered structures. The, and circuits constructed from thosethese devices exhibit differentdisplay various types of neuromorphic _dynamics under different excitations,. However, ano single two-terminal device capable of achieving multi-state storage has not yet been reported. Locally active memristors have advantages inare advantageous for generating biologically -inspired neural signals. Various forms of locally active memristor, as their models can produce neural morphological signals based on spike pulses. The generation of neuralsuch signals involvesis achieved through the amplification and computation of stimulus signals, and its working mechanism can beexternal stimuli, a process realized using capacitance-controlled memristor oscillators. When a memristor operates in the locally active domiandomain, the output voltage of its third-order circuit undergoes a period-doubling bifurcation as the capacitance in the circuit changes regularly, forming a multi-state mapping between capacitance values and oscillating voltages. In this paper, the localwork, a locally active memristor-based third-order circuitiscircuit is used as a unit to generate neuromorphic signals, thereby forming a biologically -inspired neural operation unit, and an. An operation network can be formed based on the operation unitconstructed from such units, providing a framework for storage and computation in biological-like neural networks. Methods The mathematical model of the Chua Corsage Memristor proposed by Leon Chua wasis selected for analysis. The characteristics of the partial locallocally active domain wereare examined, and an appropriate operating point and together with external components were chosenis determined to establish a third-order memristor chaotic circuit. Circuit simulation and analysis were then conductedare performed on this circuit. When the memristor operates in the locally active domain, the oscillator formed by its third-order circuit can simultaneously perform the functions ofperforms signal amplification, computation, and storage. In this wayconfiguration, the third-order circuit can be performis regarded as thea nerve cell, and the variable capacitors are treated as cynapses. Enables the synapses. The electrical signal and the dielectric capacitor to workoperate in succession, allowingenabling the third-order oscillation circuit of the memristor to functionbehave like a neuron, withwhere alternating electricalelectric fields and neurotransmitters formingcapacitive dynamics mimic neurotransmitter-mediated processes to form a brain-like computing and storage system. The secretion of biological neurotransmitters hasis characterized by a threshold characteristic, and , with the membrane threshold voltage controlsregulating the secretionrelease of neurotransmitters to the postsynaptic membrane, thereby forming the transmission oftransmitting neural signals. The Analogously, the step peak value of the oscillation circuit can servefunctions as the trigger voltage for the transfer of the capacity electrolytecapacitive charge. Results and Discussions This study utilizes the third-order circuit of a locallocally active memristor to generate stable voltage oscillations exhibiting period-doubling bifurcation voltage signal oscillations as the external capacitance changes. The variation of varies.
