Researchers have developed a laser-based artificial neuron that fully emulates the functions, dynamics and information processing of a biological graded neuron. With a signal processing speed of ...

For example, a comprehensive review of the TRP ion channel family has integrated diverse findings on channel structure, function and therapeutic potential, underscoring the multifaceted roles of ...

The study used data from laboratory mice to establish a new method for examining relationships between neuron type and function, and focused on the mouse primary visual cortex, which receives and ...

The researchers found that NEK1 mutation causes two problems in the neuron. Firstly, it causes the microtubules – part of the cell’s “skeleton” that supports the structure of the neuron – to become ...
