Engineers have found a way to fine-tune tiny artificial neurons to fire like real brain cells.

For example, a team at Caltech has identified two distinct types of neurons in the abdomens of mice that appear to control different aspects of digestion. The finding, reported in the journal Nature, ...

When probes are inserted into the brain for research or clinical purposes, the electrical activity of neurons is recorded.

We can get silicon to "think" but the neuron can't be beat for efficiency. So, researchers worked to imitate it.

A new machine learning tool called PhysMAP separates the electrical signatures of different cell types, offering a new way to ...

Engineers at Northwestern University have taken a striking leap toward merging machines with the human brain by printing ...

The brain is the body's command center, and neurons are the workhorses that carry out its commands. They transmit signals ...

Not all brain cells are found in the brain. For example, a team at Caltech has identified two distinct types of neurons in the abdomens of mice that appear to control different aspects of digestion.
