Summary:
In this study, we propose a neuro-glia network with neurogenesis based on a Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) with pulse glial chain based on individual inactivity period. This network has a connection between a glia and a neuron in a hidden-layer. The glia generates a pulse and this pulse is propagated to the neurons and the neighboring glias. The pulse generation cycle is dynamically changed by the neuron output. By a frequency of the pulse generation, the glia chooses an important neuron and an unimportant neuron. In the neurogenesis, the unimportant neuron is removed and a newborn neuron is connected in the same position as the removed neuron. We consider that the pulse of the glia gives an energy for escaping out from a local minimum, moreover the number of contributory neurons for the network performance increase by the neurogenesis. We confirm that the proposed MLP has a better performance than the previous MLP and show char acteristics of the proposed MLP.
