Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have demonstrated that a single, standard silicon transistor, the ...

A new frontier in neuromorphic computing by demonstrating that a single silicon transistor can behave like a neuron and ...

The team delved into numerous neuron and synapse models, analyzed how they work, and identified their key computational aspects. The findings are published in the journal National Science Review.

Concepts encoded by concept neurons can be an animal, an article of clothing, a place, or a person. The concept can be evoked ...

Silent synapses are dormant neural connections that hold untapped brain potential. Discover how ketamine, exercise, and other ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

The role of the fast weights, δwi, is to transiently adjust neuronal output to suppress immediate errors – errors that can be predicted if y * changes slowly. The role of the slow weights, wi, is to ...

Family with sequence similarity 19 member A5 (FAM19A5) is a secretory protein highly expressed in the brain that regulates synapse dynamics through its interaction with leucine-rich repeat-containing ...

Brain cells use a language of neurotransmitters to pass messages to each other at junctions called synapses. A single neuron can have tens of thousands of synapses, allowing it to talk to thousands of ...
