A small device that senses light and reacts like a brain cell could change how machines see and think. Built at the nanoscale ...

Contrary to previous assumptions, nerve cells in the human neocortex are wired differently than in mice. Those are the findings of a new study conducted by Charité-Universitätsmedizin Berlin and ...

Researchers recorded neural activity and blood flow in mice. Opposing neuron populations predicted blood flow more accurately ...

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 ...

Researchers at McGill University have developed a light-sensitive nanoscale structure that mimics a neuron in information processing. The neuron-like behavior originates from the ...

While the exact causes of neurodegenerative brain diseases like Alzheimer's and dementia are still largely unknown, researchers have been able to identify a key characteristic in affected brains: ...
