Abstract Spiking neural networks (SNNs) are widely used in many fields because they work closer to biological neurons. However, due to its computational complexity, many SNNs implementations are limited to computer programs. First, this paper proposes a multi-synaptic circuit (MSC) based on memristor, which realizes the multi-synapse connection between neurons and the multi-delay transmission of pulse signals. The synapse circuit participates in the calculation of the network while transmitting the pulse signal, and completes the complex calculations on the software with hardware. Secondly, a new spiking neuron circuit based on the leaky integrate-and-fire (LIF) model is designed in this paper. The amplitude and width of the pulse emitted by the spiking neuron circuit can be adjusted as required. The combination of spiking neuron circuit and MSC forms the multi-synaptic spiking neuron (MSSN). The MSSN was simulated in PSPICE and the expected result was obtained, which verified the feasibility of the circuit. Finally, a small SNN was designed based on the mathematical model of MSSN. After the SNN is trained and optimized, it obtains a good accuracy in the classification of the IRIS-dataset, which verifies the practicability of the design in the network.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
