In order for large-scale artificial neural network hardware to become practical in the future, it is essential to integrate artificial neuron and synaptic devices, and it is necessary to reduce mass ...

A technical paper titled “3D Neuromorphic Hardware with Single Thin-Film Transistor Synapses Over Single Thin-Body Transistor Neurons by Monolithic Vertical Integration” was published by researchers ...

Experimental electron micrograph of purified synaptic vesicles (upper). Synaptic vesicles automatically identified in the image with a new computer program are highlighted with different colours and ...

Neuroscientists have unveiled an engineered protein that lets them watch incoming signals wash over neurons in real time, turning what used to be invisible chemical whispers into vivid, trackable ...

Researchers have created a protein that can detect the faint chemical signals neurons receive from other brain cells. By tracking glutamate in real time, scientists can finally see how neurons process ...

The human brain contains nearly 86 billion neurons, constantly exchanging messages like an immense social media network, but neurons do not work alone – glial cells, neurotransmitters, receptors, and ...

More than a century ago, the anatomist Santiago Ramón y Cajal unveiled his incredibly detailed drawings of neurons. From these, he posited that neurons were the main building blocks of the brain and ...
