NUS researchers have shown that a single transistor can replicate both neural and synaptic behaviors, marking a significant ...

This was achieved through adjusting the resistance of the bulk terminal to specific values ... cell capable of operating either in a neuron or a synaptic regime, which the researchers have ...

The brain really is an incredible organ, and neurons are the vital link between, well, everything. The brain is anything but set in stone; how we think, feel, reason, and understand the world changes ...

have advanced our understanding of the functional and morphological characteristics of synaptic connections between many neuron types. In particular, two important principles have emerged from ...

The key lies in setting the resistance of the bulk terminal ... called Neuro-Synaptic Random Access Memory (NSRAM) — that allows switching between operating modes (neuron or synapse), offering ...

A neuron-specific splice variant of agrin is ... like vesicles at bona fide synaptic terminals. One reason for skepticism in evaluating factors that induce presynaptic differentiation in vitro ...
