Scientists have uncovered how a newly discovered gene, NEK1, in which mutations have been linked to ALS cases, disrupts the function of the motor neuron and causes it to degenerate and die. The viral ...

Proteomics experiments on Drosophila reveal sex-specific effects in aging, and an important role for a protein called DIP-β.

Researchers developed a laser-based artificial neuron that fully emulates the functions, dynamics and information processing of a biological graded neuron, which could lead to new breakthroughs in ...

Closely related subtypes of dopamine-releasing neurons may play entirely separate roles in processing sensory information, depending on their physical structure. New research from the Institute of ...

A major neuroscience breakthrough has been achieved with the help of an artificial intelligence (AI) deep learning algorithm. In a study published this month in Cell, a multinational team of ...

Researchers developed a chip-based quantum-dot laser that emulates a biological graded neuron while achieving a signal processing speed of 10 GBaud. WASHINGTON — Researchers have developed a ...
