Scientists are working on breaking the physical limits of what semiconductors can do, merging human brain neurons with ...

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

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

The functioning of the brain relies on the establishment of very precise connections between neurons: synapses. A recent ...

The team led by Associate Professor Mario Lanza from the Department of Materials Science and Engineering in the College of ...

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

New structural markers of memory storage uncovered by Scripps Research may pave the way for new treatments for memory loss.

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

To travel from the axon of one neuron to the dendrite of another neuron, a signal must cross the gap between neurons (the synapse), where it is translated from an electrical signal to a chemical ...

When under stress, neurons crank out tau fragments, and many scientists blame this for the propagation of tangle pathology in Alzheimer’s disease. The fragments also directly compromise synapses they ...
