A mouse pup is born with its hippocampus already buzzing with connections. Not a few tentative links between neighboring ...

(a) Schematic diagram of a biological neural network and (b) circuit schematic of an artificial neural network implemented in hardware using an artificial neuromorphic device. (c) Experimental results ...

A new Nature Communications study reveals that mouse hippocampal CA3 circuits start life as dense, randomly connected networks before shedding many synapses to form sparse, organized structures suited ...

Synaptic vesicles act as the brain’s chemical couriers, transporting neurotransmitters between cells. When a nerve impulse arrives, these vesicles fuse with the neuron’s membrane and release their ...

In order for large-scale artificial neural network hardware to become practical in the future, it is essential to integrate artificial neuron and synaptic devices, and it is necessary to reduce mass ...

In mouse brain cells, and in follow-up work involving worms and human cortical neurons, the team found that many axons ...

Alzheimer's is a devastating disease that results in memory loss and cognitive decline. It's caused by brain cells dying and the brain itself shrinking from a buildup of proteins. Millions of seniors ...
