Novel artificial neurons learn independently and are more strongly modeled on their biological counterparts. A team of researchers from the Göttingen Campus Institute for Dynamics of Biological ...

For more than a century, scientists have wondered why physical structures like blood vessels, neurons, tree branches, and other biological networks look the way they do. The prevailing theory held ...

A new study reveals how biological branching networks use surface geometry to shape blood vessels, brains, and plants.

Scientists found that messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules that carry genetic instructions to the far reaches of neurons in the brain tend to cluster together mostly because they are abundant, not because ...

Copper free: two Münster researchers compare a prototype optical chip to a one-cent coin. (Courtesy: University of Münster) A prototype artificial neural network (ANN) that uses only light to function ...

If neurons could be replaced, neuronal deficits caused by Alzheimer’s disease, stroke, or brain injury could be reversed. Unfortunately, neurons refuse to divide. New neurons, then, must come from ...

Research reveals that a small network of neurons continuously adjusts our breathing. Share on Pinterest New research finds that a small network of neurons is responsible for creating a unique rhythm ...

Comparing brains to computers is a long and dearly held analogy in both neuroscience and computer science. It’s not hard to see why. Indeed, there’s already a productive flow of knowledge between the ...
