A novel theoretical framework for mathematically modeling nerve cells has illuminated for the first time how small synaptic impulses enable non-linear information processing in the brain. Reported in ...

A team from Tokyo University of Science has developed a solar cell-based computing device that mimics human synaptic behaviour to use in edge AI processing. The researchers say the device has the ...

Robotics and wearable devices might soon get a little smarter with the addition of a stretchy, wearable synaptic transistor. The device works like neurons in the brain to send signals to some cells ...

Synaptic pruning is the process in which the brain removes neurons and synapses that it does not need. This usually takes place when a person is 2–10 years old. The brain contains millions of neurons ...

Millisecond ‘kiss and run’ exchange – captured in a China lab on the world’s first camera equipped to do it – solves a 50-year-old debate.
