Every day, people are constantly learning and forming new memories. When you pick up a new hobby, try a recipe a friend ...

Connections made via apical synapses seemed to be strengthened by movement information more than those made via basal ...

NUS researchers have shown that a single transistor can replicate both neural and synaptic behaviors, marking a significant ...

How do we learn something new? How do tasks at a new job, lyrics to the latest hit song or directions to a friend's house become encoded in our brains?

can function like a biological neuron and synapse when operated in a specific, unconventional way. Led by Associate Professor Mario Lanza from the Department of Materials Science and Engineering ...

Lab safety rules dictate that one must tie back long hair. Rosemarie Hansen learned the hard way when an open flame turned her locks into a lesson. New methods for deriving macrophages from induced ...

They are the most common neuron found in mammalian bodies. Neuron Function Synapses Neural synapses are junctions between neurons that permit neural communication. Synapses come in two different forms ...

Examples like Intel's Loihi chips tend to get competitive performance out of far lower clock speeds and energy use, but they ...

Between the axon of a transmitting neuron and the dendrite of a receiving neuron is a gap called the synapse—the site at which signals are passed between the brain cells. The nervous system ...

Experimental drug NU-9 -- a small molecule compound approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for clinical trials for the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) -- improves ...
