Researchers discover that rare axo-axonic synapses form a decentralized network of "broker" neurons to drive split-second fly ...

Neuroscientist Paul Nuyujukian likens the brain to a stadium full of people. To eavesdrop on the crowd you could put a microphone in the middle of the stadium. But to understand the conversations you ...

Scientists have built an artificial neuron that operates at the same voltage range as living nerve cells and can respond to signals produced by real tissue. That achievement closes a long-standing gap ...

A clump of human brain cells can play the classic computer game Doom. While its performance is not up to par with humans, experts say it brings biological computers a step closer to useful real-world ...

USC researchers built artificial neurons that replicate real brain processes using ion-based diffusive memristors. These devices emulate how neurons use chemicals to transmit and process signals, ...

The human brain contains nearly 86 billion neurons, constantly exchanging messages like an immense social media network, but neurons do not work alone – glial cells, neurotransmitters, receptors, and ...

A new type of computer that combines regular silicon-based hardware with human neurons is now available for purchase. The CL1, released March 2 by Melbourne-based startup Cortical Labs, is "the ...

Major Finding: Neuron-to-tumor GABAergic synapses promote tumor cell depolarization and proliferation in H3K27M-mutant diffuse midline glioma (DMG). Concept: Stimulated interneurons fire action ...

Researchers developed a laser-based artificial neuron that fully emulates the functions, dynamics and information processing of a biological graded neuron, which could lead to new breakthroughs in ...
