Can the brain keep working when its architecture changes? Researchers at the University of Geneva (UNIGE) have discovered ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Dr. Lance B. Eliot is a world-renowned AI scientist and consultant. In today’s column, I analyze the recently announced ...

Researchers have developed a "laser-powered artificial neuron," which is like a supercharged version of a biological neuron. This chip-based laser neuron mimics how human neurons work, but it's ...

The findings, published in Nature on July 19, shed light on potential neural mechanisms involved in working memory and decision making. "Our study is a step toward thinking of the brain not in terms ...

The brain controls the release of glucose in a wide range of stressful circumstances, including fasting and low blood sugar levels. However, less attention has been paid to its role in day-to-day ...

Most people wouldn’t give Geobacter sulfurreducens a second look. The bacteria was first discovered in a ditch in rural Oklahoma. But the lowly microbe has a superpower. It grows protein nanotubes ...

In a town on the shores of Lake Geneva sit clumps of living human brain cells for hire. These blobs, about the size of a grain of sand, can receive electrical signals and respond to them — much as ...

Being able to understand speech is essential to our evolution as humans. Hearing lets us perceive the same word even when spoken at different speeds or pitches, and also gives us extra sensitivity to ...

Living neurons receive signals from different sources, process them and pass an output signal on to other neurons (left). In the artificial neuron model, this information processing can be described ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- Converting one type of cell to another — for example, a skin cell to a neuron — can be done through a process that requires the skin cell to be induced into a “pluripotent” stem cell, ...

Editor’s Note: This is part of a series called Inside the Lab, which gives audiences a first-hand look at the research laboratories at the University of Chicago and the scholars who are tackling some ...

Artificial neurons modeled on biology learn independently, self-organizing and adapting based on information from their local network environment. (Nanowerk News) Novel artificial neurons learn ...
