The brain's ability to process information is known to be supported by intricate connections between different neuron ...

MIT researchers devised a process to convert a skin cell directly into a neuron, eliminating the need to generate induced pluripotent stem cells. Such neurons could be used to treat spinal cord ...

When a biological neuron takes in enough of the right type of information, it generates an electrical pulse to communicate with nearby neurons. Similarly, artificial neurons process and transmit ...

Researchers developed a nanoscale quantum resonant tunnelling diode that mimics a sensory neuron, detecting light, processing ...

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is evolving at an unprecedented pace, with large-scale models reaching new levels of ...

For more than 50 years, it has been known that in the cerebral cortex of many mammals, neurons with the same function are ...

The ligand Netrin mediates axon guidance through a combination of haptotaxis over short distances and chemotaxis over longer distances.

Upon light exposure, we observe the formation of LIPA-α-synuclein aggregates (green) in the soma and the neuron processes (MAP2; magenta).

This results in enough neurotransmitter being diffused across the synaptic cleft to trigger the impulse in the postsynaptic neuron. This process is called summation.
