Slime molds look gross and... not smart, but they definitely seem to communicate and plan even without neurons. Michael ...

At the core of the initiative is the CL1 biological computer developed by Cortical Labs, an Australian biotechnology company.

Let us begin the new year with a renewed commitment to protecting our brain health. We often hear that the mind and body are connected—and this is absolutely true. Brain health is body health.

USC researchers built artificial neurons that replicate real brain processes using ion-based diffusive memristors. These devices emulate how neurons use chemicals to transmit and process signals, ...

Efforts to efficiently manufacture human neurons from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are rapidly transforming the landscape of neuroscience research, drug discovery, and emerging cell-based ...

Imagine listening to a recording of an orchestral performance, but because of a bad studio technician, the only instrument you can hear is the triangle. How would you know if you were listening to the ...

Did you ever wonder why you suddenly crave something that you see someone else eating? Or, find yourself ordering the same thing someone else does at a restaurant? Often we have been reminded that ...

For decades, scientists have tried to build electronics that behave like the brain. The idea is called neuromorphic computing in which chips are designed to copy the way our brain’s neurons fire and ...

From Santiago Ramón y Cajal’s hand came branches and whorls, spines and webs. Now-famous drawings by the neuroanatomist in the late 19th and early 20th centuries showed, for the first time, the ...

An artificial neuron made of conductive plastics that can perform advanced functions similar to those of biological nerve cells has been demonstrated by researchers at Linköping University, Sweden.

Researchers demonstrate an artificial neuron made of conductive plastics that can perform advanced functions similar to those of biological nerve cells. “Mimicking the behaviour of biological neurons ...
