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 ...

If you have upper motor neuron lesions, you have damage to certain nerve cells that help you move. Medicines and therapy can help control symptoms like muscle spasms and help you walk and talk more ...

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, ...

We can replace joints, lenses, even organs—but not the brain. As neuroscience unravels the mechanisms of neurodegeneration, ...

Mirror neurons are a type of brain cell that is activated both when performing an action and when observing another individual perform that same action, a process thought to help an individual ...

Researchers developed a chip-based quantum-dot laser that emulates a biological graded neuron while achieving a signal processing speed of 10 GBaud. WASHINGTON — Researchers have developed a ...

Our bodies’ nerve cells are important for transmitting electrical and chemical information between different parts of the brain and between the brain and other parts of the nervous system. One of the ...
