Engineers at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst have developed an artificial neuron like no other. In experiments, their newly created model was able to directly communicate with a biological ...

A new computational model of the brain based closely on its biology and physiology has not only learned a simple visual category learning task exactly as well as lab animals, but even enabled the ...

Scientists have developed a new kind of laser-based artificial neuron that mimics a biological nerve cell. This artificial neuron could boost high-speed computing and artificial intelligence (AI), ...

In many neurodegenerative diseases, proteins misfold and clump together in brain tissue. Researchers used sugar-coated, peptide-based nanofibers to trap and neutralize misfolded proteins before they ...
