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

Here, we report that glycolysis controls astrocyte-synapse contact. In the Drosophila larval dopaminergic (DAergic) circuit, blocking astrocyte glycolysis stimulated perisynaptic ensheathment by ...

Researchers developed tiny wearable devices for cells that can snugly enfold neurons and neuronal processes without damaging the cell. These thin-film wearables, made from a soft polymer, could enable ...

During brain development, neurons can regulate their movement until they reach their final destination thanks to a "molecular ...

Artificial neurons could open a pathway toward computing that resembles human brain power.

A new study probing quantum phenomena in neurons as they transmit messages in the brain could provide fresh insight into how our brains function. Our brains process information via a vast network ...

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, ...

In a recent Communications Chemistry article, researchers presented a novel approach to interfacing with neuronal structures using light-responsive azobenzene polymer thin films. Image Credit: ...
