We consider the dynamical characteristics of a continuous-time isolated Hopfield-type neuron subjected to an almost periodic external stimulus. The model neuron is assumed to be dissipative having finite time delays in the process of encoding the external input stimulus and recalling the encoded pattern associated with the external stimulus. By using non-autonomous Halanay-type inequalities we obtain sufficient conditions for the hetero-associative stable encoding of temporally non-uniform stimuli. A brief study of a discrete-time model derived from the continuous-time system is given. It is shown that the discrete-time model preserves the stability conditions of the continuous-time system.
