DARPA wants to develop a tiny device that would translate the electrochemical language of the brain into the 1s and 0s of computers.
The brain's memory capacity is in the petabyte range, as much as entire Web, new research indicates. The new work answers a longstanding question as to how the brain is so energy efficient and could help engineers build computers that are incredibly powerful but also conserve energy.
Our brains are arguably one of evolution's greatest achievements, composed of many regions that each have unique configurations of cells and patterns of connectivity that together bestow us our mental prowess. But what is it about our genes that makes this organ so distinct from those of others?
Researchers at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, led by Minrui Yu, have successfully induced nerve cell tendrils to grow through semiconductor tubes
Northwestern University scientists have discovered that axons can operate in reverse: they can also send signals to the neuron cell body, too. Previously, it
