Scientists have built an artificial neuron that’s so realistic it fires, learns, and responds to chemical signals just like ...

Investigators at Cedars-Sinai have created computer-generated models to bridge the gap between "test tube" data about neurons and the function of those cells in the living brain. Their study, ...

Researchers have made a surprising discovery linking Delta/Notch signaling in subperineurial glia (SPG) to the regulation of nerve ensheathment and neurotransmitter release at the Drosophila ...

Engineers at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst have developed an artificial neuron like no other. In experiments, ...

Scientists studying neuronal energy metabolism found evidence the loss of an important energy regulator called AMPK in neural stem cells or glial cells called astrocytes causes neuronal death in ...

The team’s advance changes this. “Ours register only 0.1 volts, which about the same as the neurons in our bodies,” says Yao.

Our mushy brains seem a far cry from the solid silicon chips in computer processors, but scientists have a long history of comparing the two. As Alan Turing put it in 1952: “We are not interested in ...
