For all the improvements in computer technology over the years, we still struggle to recreate the low-energy, elegant processing of the human brain. Now, researchers at Stanford University and Sandia ...
“It works like a real synapse but it’s an organic electronic device that can be engineered,” said Alberto Salleo, associate professor of materials science and engineering at Stanford and senior author ...
In the brain, highly specific connections called synapses link nerve cells and transmit electrical signals in a targeted manner. Despite decades of research, how synapses form during brain development ...
Two teams discover how small cell lung cancer hijacks neural pathways to proliferate faster, especially to the brain. Common ...
Neural networks were all the rage for a while, but progress eventually slowed and interest cooled. Then, as computing power increased, the field experienced a renaissance, and deep learning was the ...
A genetic analysis of synapse formation changes the current understanding of the events that generate acetylcholine receptor clustering and synapse-specific receptor transcription. The clustering of ...
A team of experimental neurobiologists at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) and theoretical biologists at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin has managed to solve a mystery that has been baffling ...
Researchers from The University of Texas at Dallas' Center for Advanced Pain Studies (CAPS) and their colleagues have made a ...
A new organic artificial synapse could support computers that better recreate the way the human brain processes information. It could also lead to improvements in brain-machine technologies. For all ...
