An　impulsive　Cohen-Grossberg-type　bidirectional　associative　memory　(BAM)　neural　networks　with　distributed　delays　is　studied.　Some　new　sufficient　conditions　are　established　for　the　existence　and　global　exponential　stability　of　a　unique　equilibrium　without　strict　conditions　imposed　on　self　regulation　functions.　The　approaches　are　based　on　Laypunov-Kravsovskii　functional　and　homeomorphism　theory.　When　our　results　are　applied　to　the　BAM　neural　networks,　our　results　generalize　some　previously　known　results.　It　is　believed　that　these　results　are　significant　and　useful　for　the　design　and　applications　of　Cohen-Grossberg-type　bidirectional　associative　memory　networks.　©　2007　Elsevier　Ltd.　All　rights　reserved.
