Scientists have discovered that the adolescent brain does more than prune old connections. During the teen years, it actively ...

(a) Schematic diagram of a biological neural network and (b) circuit schematic of an artificial neural network implemented in hardware using an artificial neuromorphic device. (c) Experimental results ...

Every movement you make and every memory you form depends on precise communication between neurons. When that communication is disrupted, the brain must rapidly rebalance its internal signaling to ...

In order for large-scale artificial neural network hardware to become practical in the future, it is essential to integrate artificial neuron and synaptic devices, and it is necessary to reduce mass ...

Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have demonstrated that a single, standard silicon transistor, the fundamental building block of microchips used in computers, smartphones ...

Proteomics experiments on Drosophila reveal sex-specific effects in aging, and an important role for a protein called DIP-β.

The human brain contains nearly 86 billion neurons, constantly exchanging messages like an immense social media network, but neurons do not work alone – glial cells, neurotransmitters, receptors, and ...

In AZoM's latest interview, we talk with Jeff Shainline from the NIST in Boulder, CO, about his research looking at forming superconducting circuits with synaptic behavior. Current computers are all ...

More than a century ago, the anatomist Santiago Ramón y Cajal unveiled his incredibly detailed drawings of neurons. From these, he posited that neurons were the main building blocks of the brain and ...
