Quantum computers process multiple possibilities at once, unlike traditional computers. Quantum properties like entanglement ...

New research reveals that brain cells use a muscle-like signaling mechanism to relay information over long distances.

Advancements could enhance perceptual capabilities in robotics. Artificially engineered biological processes, such as ...

Discover how individual neurons in the brain learn to recognize and predict patterns in the flow of time, providing insights into the structure of time.

By crafting an artificial brain-like environment with microscopic nanopillars, researchers have successfully guided neurons ...

Bar. Date. Martini. Olive. Bank. Deep in your brain, neurons known as concept cells are firing. You might have concept cells that fire for martinis but not for olives. Or ones that fire for bars — ...

Alteration in Brain Waves When we examined the mice ... Surprisingly, when we examined the relationship between neurons whose burst firing changed and whether they showed phase-locking behaviour ...

Specific protein receptors in the brain play a vital role in how neurons slow down or stop firing, making them targets for many disorders. Researchers have now constructed a detailed structural ...

The research team found that these neurons regulate key aspects of the brain-heart-gut axis ... the team discovered that simultaneous, recurrent firing of these neurons in mice produces a torpor ...

The study links differences in alpha- and beta-frequency oscillations with brain-wide variation in the balance between excitatory neurons—those that boost activity by firing and passing signals ...
