Researchers at the USC Viterbi School of Engineering and the School of Advanced Computing have built artificial neurons that ...

Researchers have discovered how newly created neurons depend on blood flow in the adult brain to travel from their site of ...

Artificial neurons that mimic real brain cells using ion-based signals instead of electrons—promising ultra-efficient, ...

Yet science has a track record of turning theoretical possibilities into reality. Just because a concept seems terribly, ...

A team at University of Massachusetts Amherst developed artificial neurons that fire in the same voltage range as living cells. Silicon and biology can now speak the same electrical language.

very image we see and every sound we hear is encoded in the brain through the activation of tiny processing units called neurons – nerve cells that are ten times smaller than a human hair. The human ...

Our experiences leave traces in the brain, stored in small groups of cells called engrams. Engrams are thought to hold the ...

Neuroscientists probing the boundary between sleep and awareness are finding many types of liminal states, which help explain ...

The human brain can do many amazing things, but self-repair is not one of its repertoire of abilities. Once neurons die—from ...

For some brain changes, the age that women go through menopause may be a factor. Those whose periods cease before 47 are more ...

The areas most affected by atrophy are the hippocampus, where the cells start declining and shrink (plays role in memory); the front lobe (judgement and everyday decision making); and temporal lobe ...

A study shows how newly created neurons depend on blood flow to travel to their final location in the adult brain, paving the way for future research on blood flow-dependent cell migration which may ...
