Researchers have developed a new kind of artificial neuron—called infomorphic neurons—that can independently learn and ...

Types of Neurons Sensory neurons The cell bodies of sensory neurons are located in the dorsal root ganglia—cell body clusters just outside the spinal cord—whereas their peripheral extensions travel ...

In order to instantly facilitate these bodily processes, highly specialized sensory and motor neurons (as well as interneurons) are used to transmit these signals and coordinate the way your body ...

International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory (INL) researchers have developed a neuromorphic photonic semiconductor neuron ...

The device, inspired by the way biological neurons process information, has the ability to detect light and convert it into electrical signals within a single nanoscale component, ...

Scientists at Pennington Biomedical Research Center have gained greater clarity in the brain regions and neurons that control ...

Both, human brain and modern artificial neural networks are extremely powerful. At the lowest level, the neurons work ...

New research uncovers how the brain processes learning by identifying the exact moment an animal learns a new skill.

Neurons in the primary somatosensory cortex process different types of sensory information and exhibit distinct activity patterns, yet the cause of these differences has remained unclear.

"The brain continuously receives and integrates sensory inputs, and neurons do not act in isolation—they are part of complex, recurrent networks. One particularly intriguing feature of these ...

This valuable study shows that an odorant that is typically thought of as a repellant actually activates both attractant and repellant olfactory neurons in C. elegans. Solid evidence is provided that ...
