Engineers at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst have developed an artificial neuron like no other. In experiments, ...

The team’s advance changes this. “Ours register only 0.1 volts, which about the same as the neurons in our bodies,” says Yao.

So Heimdall Power developed the Neuron, its “magic ball.” The round device attaches to power lines to measure conditions ...

Researchers have long believed that neurons rely on glucose nearly entirely for fuel. The brain’s enormous energy ...

Scientists have built an artificial neuron that’s so realistic it fires, learns, and responds to chemical signals just like ...

Built from low-powered protein nanowires made by bacteria, these neurons could enable vastly more efficient, bio-inspired computers. Engineers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have developed ...

A team of engineers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst has announced the creation of an artificial neuron with ...

Researchers have found that increased neuron formation and the subsequent rewiring of neural circuits in the hippocampus through exercise or genetic manipulation helps mice forget traumatic or ...

Alzheimer's disease not only robs people of their memory but also affects mood, often causing anxiety and depression. Until ...

Our mushy brains seem a far cry from the solid silicon chips in computer processors, but scientists have a long history of comparing the two. As Alan Turing put it in 1952: “We are not interested in ...

“Do you think all mental conditions have a physical component in the brain?” someone once asked me. “Absolutely!” I answered. Then I qualified that I didn’t believe the mind and brain are the same nor ...
