Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI have achieved a breakthrough on the path to practical application of lithium ...

If you've ever noticed how memories from the same day seem connected while events from weeks apart feel separate, a new study reveals the reason: Our brains physically link memories that occur close ...

Neurons may get all the glory, but they would be nothing without glial cells. While brain cells do the heavy lifting in the nervous system, it's the glia that provide nutrients, clean up waste, and ...

Abstract: A neuromorphic architecture is suitable for low-power tiny-machine learning processors. However, the large number of synapses utilized in recent deep neural networks require multichip ...

The organization of neural circuits determines nervous system function. Variability can arise during neural circuit development (e.g. neurite morphology, axon/dendrite position). To ensure robust ...

A neuron is a thing of beauty. Ever since Santiago Ramón y Cajal stained them with silver nitrate to make them visible under the microscopes of the 1880s (see drawing above), their ramifications have ...

Every keyboard has a set of Function Keys F1-F12 on the top row; however, the old computer sets used to have these keys gathered on the left side of the keyboard. While every function key caters ...

Summary: Different types of dendrites process incoming information in different ways before sending it to the body of the neuron. Within the human brain, neurons perform complex calculations on ...
