Engineers have found a way to fine-tune tiny artificial neurons to fire like real brain cells.

We can get silicon to "think" but the neuron can't be beat for efficiency. So, researchers worked to imitate it.

The study offers a valuable resource and integrates multiple complementary datasets to provide insights into regulatory mechanisms, although the conceptual advances are moderate and the central ...

Long dismissed as ‘brain glue,’ star-shaped cells called astrocytes are emerging as a breakthrough in treating Alzheimer’s ...

Objectives: Brain‒computer interfaces (BCI) are currently used in clinical studies but mostly rely on population level signals that limit their precision, facing challenges of interpretability and ...

Signalling between neurons and tumour cells in the lung and brain promotes the growth of small-cell lung cancer. These interactions might be a therapeutic target. Read the paper: Neuronal ...

Neuron, Cell Press’s prestigious neuroscience journal, is publishing a special issue on aging research on January 8, 2025. The collection of reviews and perspectives reflects the progress made in ...

Researchers discovered that variations in kinesin motor proteins control selective cargo transport in neurons, enabling ...

If humans or animals eat something that causes them to feel unwell, they subsequently avoid this food source. Until now, it ...

Scientists have uncovered the intricate circuit cues behind neuronal cell maturation and migration, which is required for proper cognitive function. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a ...
