A new protein sensor lets researchers see incoming brain signals, revealing how neurons process information tied to memory ...

New research from Colorado State University into the ways neurons regulate chemical balance in the brain could provide ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The human brain processes complex information while consuming merely the power of a dim light bulb. This remarkable efficiency stems from synapses, the connections between brain ...

The Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) in South Korea has developed a fully biodegradable artificial ...

Stay up to date on the latest science with Brush Up Summaries. Nerve cells, or neurons, are the basic functional units of the nervous system. Multiple interconnected neurons form a neural circuit and ...

Scientists have created one of the most detailed 3D images of the synapse, the important juncture where neurons communicate with each other through an exchange of chemical signals. These nanometer ...

In Nature Communications, a research team affiliated with UNIST present a fully biodegradable, robust, and energy-efficient ...

Abstract Biodegradable artificial synapses hold great promise for sustainable neuromorphic electronics, yet combining long-term memory, ultralow ...

They are part of the brain of almost every animal species, yet they remain usually invisible even under the electron microscope. They are part of the brain of almost every animal species, yet they ...
