Researchers developed a chip-based quantum-dot laser that emulates a biological graded neuron while achieving a signal processing speed of 10 GBaud. WASHINGTON — Researchers have developed a ...

Shifting focus on a visual scene without moving our eyes — think driving, or reading a room for the reaction to your joke — is a behavior known as covert ...

Neuroscientists have unveiled an engineered protein that lets them watch incoming signals wash over neurons in real time, turning what used to be invisible chemical whispers into vivid, trackable ...

Biological cells process data and perform computations all the time. They take inputs in the form of external stimuli and produce specific responses. Recently, scientists have been looking at ways to ...

Another piece of the dementia puzzle may finally have been found. In A Nutshell Scientists discovered ultrathin tubes (hundreds of nanometers wide) connecting brain cells that transport proteins and ...

Brain cells are like tiny trees. They have an intricate web of roots that take in signals and a trunk that passes these signals to branches dotted with hubs called synapses, where the messages are ...

Neuron, Cell Press’s prestigious neuroscience journal, is publishing a special issue on aging research on January 8, 2025. The collection of reviews and perspectives reflects the progress made in ...
