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

A new study reveals that axon formation is driven by an internal molecular zipper protein complex called Arp2/3.

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Researchers have developed a "laser-powered artificial neuron," which is like a supercharged version of a biological neuron. This ...

The human brain contains billions of neurons, specialized nerve cells that communicate with each other via electrical and ...

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 ...

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

McGill University researchers have developed a light-detecting nanoscale structure that mimics how a neuron processes information. The neuron-like behaviour emerges from the materials themselves, ...

Artificially engineered biological processes, such as perception systems, remain an elusive target for organic electronics. A complete perception system built by designing other organic materials and ...

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