Novel artificial neurons learn independently and are more strongly modeled on their biological counterparts. A team of researchers has programmed these infomorphic neurons and constructed artificial ...

Some areas of the adult brain contain quiescent, or dormant, neural stem cells that can potentially be reactivated to form new neurons. However, the transition from quiescence to proliferation is ...

Neurons are the tiny processing units within the human brain and nervous system. Our brains have about 86 billion neurons. Even more are spread throughout the body, communicating by electrical and ...

VEVEY, Switzerland--(BUSINESS WIRE)--FinalSpark, a pioneering Swiss biocomputing startup, has launched the first-ever online platform enabling global researchers to conduct experiments remotely on ...

Not all brain cells are found in the brain. For example, a team at Caltech has identified two distinct types of neurons in the abdomens of mice that appear to control different aspects of digestion.

Brain-computer interfaces have enabled people with paralysis to move a computer cursor with their mind and reanimate their ...
