Neuronal Type Assignment from Connectivity (NTAC) transforms a connectome into a graph, and detects neuron types using "connectivity fingerprints” and groups the neuronal cell types in the connectome.

Neural organoids have been heralded as having huge potential for advancing our knowledge of the brain in several fields.

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 ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers have developed a laser-based artificial neuron that fully emulates the functions, dynamics and information processing of a biological graded neuron. With a signal ...

The brain is the most complex organ in the human body. Different parts of the brain perform a variety of functions, all of ...

NTAC is capable of assigning neuronal types based exclusively on synaptic connectivity, with very high accuracy. "It shows that the wiring diagram itself carries enough signal to identify neuron types ...

Shifting focus on a visual scene without moving our eyes - think driving, or reading a room for the reaction to your joke - is a behavior known as covert attention. We do it all the time, but little ...

Dopamine seems to be having a moment in the zeitgeist. You may have read about it in the news, seen viral social media posts about “dopamine hacking,” or listened to podcasts about how to harness what ...

Researchers have identified a specific class of brain neurons that dies during multiple sclerosis because inflammation ...
