DZNE researchers have uncovered a mechanism that determines why a neuron usually forms a single, long extension called an ...

The researchers say our neurons' cognitive potency comes from its unique structure. Compared to those of other mammals, human ...

A new study proves individual human cortical neurons have the computational complexity of an entire deep artificial neural ...

Is there a difference in brain structure between men and women? If we were to find such a difference in a single neuron, would it matter? One of the most useful models for studying these questions is ...

For years, one of the simplest explanations for human intelligence was also one of the biggest: the human brain has an enormous number of neurons. It also has an even more enormous web of connections ...

Closely related subtypes of dopamine-releasing neurons may play entirely separate roles in processing sensory information, depending on their physical structure. New research from the Institute of ...

In a study published today (Feb. 11) in the journal Science Advances, the researchers demonstrated that the MPS structure lining nerve cells acts as a physical gatekeeper for nearly every major form ...

Nanoscale structure made from inorganic material could be used to improve artificial retinas and to make AI more efficient.

Researchers at McGill University have developed a light-sensitive nanoscale structure that mimics a neuron in information ...
