UMass Amherst engineers create low-voltage artificial neurons using bacterial nanowires, promising efficient bio-inspired ...

That's like an artificial neuron 'screaming' at the top of its lungs to a typical human neuron. All that hollering takes a ...

Scientists have built an artificial neuron that’s so realistic it fires, learns, and responds to chemical signals just like ...

Built from low-powered protein nanowires made by bacteria, these neurons could enable vastly more efficient, bio-inspired computers. Engineers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have developed ...

Exploring the relationship between cancer cells and nerve cells, which can signal tumors to grow, could unearth ways to slow disease.

The human brain does more than simply regulate synapses that exchange signals; individual neurons also process information ...

A neuron in a hippocampal slice from the mouse model developed by the team, in which the glutamate receptor GluA2 is 'labelled' to create a stain of an isolated neuron. Magenta: stain of GluA2, on the ...
