A team of scientists from the University of Cologne's Institute of Biochemistry has made a decisive discovery about the ...

Researchers discovered that gephyrin, a key protein at inhibitory synapses, forms organized filaments that act as the structural basis for postsynaptic densities.

For all the improvements in computer technology over the years, we still struggle to recreate the low-energy, elegant processing of the human brain. Now, researchers at Stanford University and Sandia ...

The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) poses challenges to today's computer technology. Conventional silicon ...

If there's one thing that's crystal clear about Alzheimer's disease, it's this: It eats away at neurons and the links between ...

“It works like a real synapse but it’s an organic electronic device that can be engineered,” said Alberto Salleo, associate professor of materials science and engineering at Stanford and senior author ...

A team of experimental neurobiologists at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) and theoretical biologists at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin has managed to solve a mystery that has been baffling ...

With all of the advances made by computer vision tech in the past few years, it might seem a little crazy that so much of the x-ray security equipment being used at sensitive locations is leaning so ...

Neural networks were all the rage for a while, but progress eventually slowed and interest cooled. Then, as computing power increased, the field experienced a renaissance, and deep learning was the ...

A team of scientists has created prototypes of 'electronic synapses' based on ultra-thin films of hafnium oxide. These prototypes could potentially be used in fundamentally new computing systems. A ...

A genetic analysis of synapse formation changes the current understanding of the events that generate acetylcholine receptor clustering and synapse-specific receptor transcription. The clustering of ...

A new organic artificial synapse could support computers that better recreate the way the human brain processes information. It could also lead to improvements in brain-machine technologies. For all ...
