A small device that senses light and reacts like a brain cell could change how machines see and think. Built at the nanoscale ...

DZNE researchers have uncovered a mechanism that determines why a neuron usually forms a single, long extension called an ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Researchers have developed a "laser-powered artificial neuron," which is like a supercharged version of a biological neuron. This ...

For years, one of the simplest explanations for human intelligence was also one of the biggest: the human brain has an enormous number of neurons. It also has an even more enormous web of connections ...

A new study reveals that axon formation is driven by an internal molecular zipper protein complex called Arp2/3.

McGill University researchers have developed a light-detecting nanoscale structure that mimics how a neuron processes information. The neuron-like behaviour emerges from the materials themselves, ...

AURORA, Colo. -- Olfactory sensory neurons are nasal neurons that make use of hundreds of different types of odorant receptors to analyze odorous chemicals in our external world and send that ...
