A growing body of neuroscience research is challenging a basic assumption about how the brain produces awareness. Where conventional theories treat consciousness as a product of neuronal firing alone, ...

When I began my master’s program in cognitive science, an electrical engineering professor told us—rather arrogantly—that the soul is nothing but neurons firing. “You’re deluded if you think otherwise ...

Scientists created an artificial neuron that operates at the same voltage as living cells and is able to communicate with the human brain.

USC researchers built artificial neurons that replicate real brain processes using ion-based diffusive memristors. These devices emulate how neurons use chemicals to transmit and process signals, ...

Scientists build artificial neurons that work like real ones Researchers have created low-voltage artificial neurons using bacteria-grown protein nanowires, enabling direct communication with ...

Cortical Labs, an Australian biotechnology startup, connected a culture of living human and mouse neurons to a version of the ...

Frozen mouse brain tissue regained activity after thawing in a new cryopreservation experiment, hinting at future medical possibilities.
