Neurons, the uber-connected nerve cells that act as a main switchboard for the brain, are central to some incredibly complicated processes. They make it possible to think, walk, speak, and breathe.

This is a time-lapse sequence of a neuron growing from tube to tube in the array. The neuron grows much faster inside the microtube than in the spaces between tubes. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert!

Modern medicine can do a lot of amazing things. But if the nerve cables linking the human brain and spinal cord are severed, there are few options; the resulting paralysis is permanent. Or so we ...

Verses demonstrates progress in leveraging AI models using Bayesian networks and active inference that are significantly smaller, more energy efficient, and honest than Deep Neural Network approaches.

A progenitor-derived corticospinal-like neuron in cell culture, extending its long axon, even in isolation. The cell body (or "soma"; immunolabeled by Tuj1 antibody in red) is at the top, with the ...

Researchers have developed a new type of artificial neuron that physically emulates the electrochemical processes of biological brain cells. This innovation, which relies on the movement of atoms ...
