    The field of Neuroengineering aims to investigate ways to proposed synthetic and controllable Boolean computing inside the brain using neuronal cells based on the existing neuronal computation abilities of the Brain. In this work, we propose the design of AND and OR logic gates using a multicellular Boolean logic operation by engineering the molecular communications of neurons and we evaluate their performance when passing data along as isolated units. The results show higher accuracy values of gate operation for mid-level inter-spike intervals when stimulated with spike trains revealing the role of the frequency of firing and how this impacts on neuronal logic gatin

    With the advancement of synthetic biology, several new tools have been conceptualized over the years as alternative treatments for current medical procedures. As part of this work, we investigate how synthetically engineered neurons can operate as digital logic gates that can be used towards bio-computing inside the brain and its impact on epileptic seizure-like behaviour. We quantify the accuracy of logic gates under high firing rates amid a network of neurons and by how much it can smooth out uncontrolled neuronal firings. To test the efficacy of our method, simulations composed of computational models of neurons connected in a structure that represents a logic gate are performed. Our simulations demonstrate the accuracy of performing the correct logic operation, and how specific properties such as the firing rate can play an important role in the accuracy. As part of the analysis, the mean squared error is used to quantify the quality of our proposed model and predict the accurate operation of a gate based on different sampling frequencies. As an application, the logic gates were used to smooth out epileptic seizure-like activity in a biological neuronal network, where the results demonstrated the effectiveness of reducing its mean firing rate. Our proposed system has the potential to be used in future approaches to treating neurological conditions in the brain
