The Hodgkin-Huxley (HH) spiking neuron model reproduces the dynamic characteristics of the neuron by mimicking the action potential, ionic channels, and spiking behaviors. The memristor is a nonlinear ...

This important study offers a molecular characterization of neurons and glia in the adult nervous system of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. The study focuses on the progeny of a specific set of ...

A supplement costing mere pennies per pill on the high street could help protect people from debilitating dementia and motor neurone disease, research suggests.

Insect and spider bites can cause small lacerations, swelling, skin discoloration, blisters, and other symptoms. Home treatment may relieve symptoms but some bites may need medical attention ...

Inspired by the humble bee, robotics researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have designed insect-sized aerial bots with a reimagined wing system that can fly for up to 1,000 ...

Insects do a lot more harm than ruining picnics. Some insects spread devastating diseases, while others cause staggering economic losses in agriculture. To control some of these pests, scientists ...
