Biocomputing research is testing living neurons for computation as scientists look for energy-efficient alternatives to ...

Can the brain function when its architecture is altered? A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) demonstrates that ...

I still vividly remember the first time we observed neurons responding not to audible sound, but to concentrated, precisely ...

Recent analysis of human brain tissue suggests that a small and often overlooked region deep within the brain may play a central role in bipolar disorder. Researchers found that neurons in the ...

New experiments reveal how astrocytes tune neuronal activity to modulate our mental and emotional states. The results suggest ...

A tiny roundworm has helped University of Queensland scientists uncover minuscule structures in skin tissue that may protect ...

Quiet isn’t always calming. Predictability often matters more than silence for sensory comfort, especially in autism and ADHD.

Researchers at the University of Geneva (UNIGE) have discovered that neurons located in the wrong place can still carry out their normal function — challenging long-held assumptions about how the ...

Closely related subtypes of dopamine-releasing neurons may play entirely separate roles in processing sensory information, depending on their physical structure. New research from the Institute of ...

This study provides solid evidence that odor fear conditioning biases olfactory sensory neuron receptor choice in mice and that this bias is detectable in the next generation. The authors use rigorous ...

An integrated spiking artificial neuron, with rich neuron functionality, single-transistor footprints, and low energy consumption for neuromorphic computing systems, can be created by stacking one ...

Abstract: In this work, we proposed a 3D tissue model with vertically penetrating sensory neurons. To mimic the sensory neuron structure in vertebrate animals, the spheroid containing dorsal root ...
