Researchers have developed a "laser-powered artificial neuron," which is like a supercharged version of a biological neuron. This chip-based laser neuron mimics how human neurons work, but it's ...

According to the research, a single artificial neuron can replicate various pre-motor, motor, and visual behaviours, potentially leading to the development of advanced robotic systems that mimic human ...

Neurons are the specialized cells that allow our bodies to transmit impulses, like factories that process inputs. They send ...

A new study in Neuron reveals that the brain’s executive center sends highly specialized, context-dependent instructions to the visual system rather than a generic broadcast signal. The findings ...

For the first time, researchers identified the function of the CASKIN2 protein, which plays a key role in precise signal ...

For decades, neuroscientists have been trying to pinpoint the neural underpinnings of behavior and decision-making. Past ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 78, No. 2, [Part 2: Biological Sciences] (Feb., 1981), pp. 1264-1268 (5 pages) Mesencephalic dopamine neurons from ...

The brain is a complex tangle of neurons that allow us to process lots of different stimuli at once. But according to new research from Duke University, that multi-tasking ability doesn't necessarily ...
