Loss of synapses and synapse function sit at the heart of a number of diseases, not just neurodegenerative examples such as dementia and Parkinson's disease but also conditions such as diabetes. We do ...

A computer that uses electronic synapses made of terminals with a top electrode (TE), dielectric layer (DL), and bottom electrode (BE) can emulate the human brain. A neural network using these ...

The brain’s rules seem simple: Fire together, wire together. When groups of neurons activate, they become interconnected. This networking is how we learn, reason, form memories, and adapt to our world ...

Real neurons don't actually talk to each other with electrical spikes. For that, their synapses deploy vesicles filled with transmitters. Although there is clearly a relation between the spikes a ...
