Synapse coupling is critical for information encoding of neurons. The effect of electromagnetic induction in cell becomes distinct when the exchange of charged ions across membrane is frequently triggered by external electric field or synapse current from adjacent neurons. In this paper, Gaussian white noise is imposed on a two-layer network composed of neurons with electromagnetic induction. The gap junction coupling is applied to connect the adjacent neurons and external stimulus with diversity is applied to keep different excitabilities of neurons in each layer. Neurons on the second layer are activated and modulated by using field coupling rather than channel coupling. It is found that the pattern formation on the network is much dependent on the initial setting due to the memory effect based on induction current via memristive synapse. Furthermore, field coupling intensity (D0) and noise intensity (D1) are changed to detect the development of spiral waves, target waves on the network in presence of noise. It confirms that noise can be helpful for pattern selection and synchronization approach on the two-layer network under field coupling, while field coupling can suppress the self-organization for pattern formation.

AbstractConventional neuronal network pattern formation techniques cannot control the arrangement of axons and dendrites because network structures must be fixed before neurite differentiation. To overcome this limitation, we developed a non-destructive stepwise microfabrication technique that can be used to alter microchannels within agarose to guide neurites during elongation. Micropatterns were formed in thin agarose layer coating of a cultivation dish using the tip of a 0.7 $$\upmu \mathrm{m}$$ μ m -diameter platinum-coated glass microneedle heated by a focused 1064-nm wavelength infrared laser, which has no absorbance of water. As the size of the heat source was 0.7 $$\upmu \mathrm{m}$$ μ m , which is smaller than the laser wavelength, the temperature fell to 45 $$^\circ \hbox {C}$$ ∘ C within a distance of 7.0 $$\upmu \mathrm{m}$$ μ m from the edge of the etched agarose microchannel. We exploited the fast temperature decay property to guide cell-to-cell connection during neuronal network cultivation. The first neurite of a hippocampal cell from a microchamber was guided to a microchannel leading to the target neuron with stepwise etching of the micrometer resolution microchannel in the agarose layer, and the elongated neurites were not damaged by the heat of etching. The results indicate the potential of this new technique for fully direction-controlled on-chip neuronal network studies.
