Researchers at the USC Viterbi School of Engineering and School of Advanced Computing have developed artificial neurons that ...

Researchers have developed a new type of artificial neuron that physically emulates the electrochemical processes of biological brain cells. This innovation, which relies on the movement of atoms ...

UMass Amherst engineers have built an artificial neuron powered by bacterial protein nanowires that functions like a real one ...

Scientists reveal mechanical forces move across neuron membranes differently based on obstacle patterns. This explains how ...

To better model how neurons fire and interact with glia, some scientists place the cells into a brain or grow them in an organoid. Others have produced little spheres of human neural tissue by ...

Neural networks are algorithmic systems created based on the principle of the human nervous system. They consist of many ...

Researchers devised a process to convert a skin cell directly into a neuron, eliminating the need to generate induced pluripotent stem cells. Such neurons could be used to treat spinal cord injuries ...

Motor neuron diseases, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP), share physical ...

An international research team, led by Shinghua Ding at the University of Missouri, has identified a previously unknown ...

New research shows that the brain’s ability to detect subtle visual changes—like spotting an anomaly on a security monitor—depends on theta-frequency brain waves (3–6 Hz) that rhythmically sweep ...
