Neurons, the uber-connected nerve cells that act as a main switchboard for the brain, are central to some incredibly complicated processes. They make it possible to think, walk, speak, and breathe.

Verses demonstrates progress in leveraging AI models using Bayesian networks and active inference that are significantly smaller, more energy efficient, and honest than Deep Neural Network approaches.

Experience sculpts brain structure and function. Activity-dependent modulation of the myelinated infrastructure of the nervous system has emerged as a dimension of adaptive change during childhood ...

This is a time-lapse sequence of a neuron growing from tube to tube in the array. The neuron grows much faster inside the microtube than in the spaces between tubes. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert!

A progenitor-derived corticospinal-like neuron in cell culture, extending its long axon, even in isolation. The cell body (or "soma"; immunolabeled by Tuj1 antibody in red) is at the top, with the ...

Neurodegenerative diseases and neurotraumatic injuries are typically age-associated disorders that can reduce neuron survival, neurite outgrowth, and synaptic plasticity leading to loss of cognitive ...

Researchers have developed a new type of artificial neuron that physically emulates the electrochemical processes of biological brain cells. This innovation, which relies on the movement of atoms ...
