Neurons, the uber-connected nerve cells that act as a main switchboard for the brain, are central to some incredibly ...

A tiny circuit, printed from ink made of atom-thin crystals, just fired electrical pulses that a living brain cell recognized ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Researchers have developed a "laser-powered artificial neuron," which is like a supercharged version of a biological neuron. This ...

Even in the primary visual cortex, a brain region named for its specialized role in processing basic features of what the ...

All cells, whether big or small, short or long, rely on proteins to function properly. In most cells, transporting these ...

Researchers at King's College London have identified the biological nature and timing of changes in human cortical neurons ...

Scientists have developed a new kind of laser-based artificial neuron that mimics a biological nerve cell. This artificial ...

Cellular maturation involves transcriptional, metabolic, and physiological changes that drive cell function. In human neurons, this process takes longer than in most other cell types, lasting almost ...
