Neurons communicate by passing electrical messages, known as action potentials, between each other. Each neuron has a highly specialized structural region, the axon initial segment (AIS), whose ...

Researchers from Rochester Institute of Technology and six other universities are teaming up to build synthetic neurons and a programmable network of such neurons in an effort to better understand the ...

Scientists have built an artificial neuron that’s so realistic it fires, learns, and responds to chemical signals just like the real thing – a breakthrough that could transform computing, medicine, ...

Researchers develop a 3D-printed, RNA-activated implant that silences the PTEN gene to promote nerve regrowth after spinal cord injury.

For most of the 20th century, the scientific consensus held that the adult brain was essentially fixed, unable to grow new ...
