This is the second in a series of articles explaining - using plain English - what exactly are the electrical impulses in your brain responsible for how it learns, represents, and processes ...

Researchers have devised a way to achieve long-term changes in neuron activity. With their new strategy, they can use light exposure to change the electrical capacitance of the neurons' membranes, ...

This valuable study presents a plastic recurrent spiking network model that spontaneously generates repeating neuronal sequences under unstructured inputs. The authors provide solid evidence that, ...

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 ...

Neurons are the specialized cells that allow our bodies to transmit impulses, like factories that process inputs. They send signals that help us catch a ball, recognize a favorite song or pull our ...

Understanding how nerve cells (neurons) function is essential to finding medical cures for many neuronal diseases, such as epilepsy, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, stroke, or even severe headaches. Since ...

This work was supported by grants from the National Natural Science Foundation of China (Nos. 82471497, 82311530117, and ...

A collaborative research group has shown that biological neurons can be trained to perform a temporal pattern learning task ...
