The constant, energy-driven motion inside living cells may generate electricity in a way no one fully recognized before.

The brain’s chatter has always been partly out of reach, with electrical spikes easy to record but the chemical whispers ...

Neuroscientists have long listened to the brain’s electrical spikes, but those loud crackles are only the final output of a ...

We describe an unusual case of a woman in her 30s who had recently undergone Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and presented to the emergency department with a 6-week history of intractable nausea and vomiting ...

Research reveals why AI systems can't become conscious—and what radically different computing substrates would be needed to bridge the gap.

Scientists have built an artificial neuron that’s so realistic it fires, learns, and responds to chemical signals just like the real thing – a breakthrough that could transform computing, medicine, ...

Abstract: Biological neuron signals are characterized by alternating action potentials (or spikes) and resting states. Action potentials are short-termed, high-amplitude peaks that consist of several ...

An important part of the human experience is striving for higher achievements and deeper understanding. In science, deeper understanding can have practical applications for health and ameliorating the ...

Major Finding: Neuron-to-tumor GABAergic synapses promote tumor cell depolarization and proliferation in H3K27M-mutant diffuse midline glioma (DMG). Concept: Stimulated interneurons fire action ...

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), ...
