Researchers developed a chip-based quantum-dot laser that emulates a biological graded neuron while achieving a signal processing speed of 10 GBaud. WASHINGTON — Researchers have developed a ...

A study of cells from 84 cadaver brains suggests that Alzheimer's has two distinct phases, and that one type of neuron is especially vulnerable. "There's an early phase where there's a very slow ...

Scientists have known for years that a lattice of blood vessels nourishes cells in the retina that allow us to see – but it's been a mystery how the intricate structure is created. Now, researchers at ...

Engineers at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst have developed an artificial neuron like no other. In experiments, their newly created model was able to directly communicate with a biological ...

Scientists have built an artificial neuron that’s so realistic it fires, learns, and responds to chemical signals just like the real thing – a breakthrough that could transform computing, medicine, ...

Animal bodies are crackling with electrical signals. Even before development is complete, electric fields guide the movement and arrangement of embryonic cells. 1 In adults, neurons communicate with ...

A new pharmacological inhibitor can intervene in a central cell death mechanism that is responsible for the death of motor neurons and hence important for the progression of the motor neuron disease ...
