Synaptic vesicles act as the brain’s chemical couriers, transporting neurotransmitters between cells. When a nerve impulse arrives, these vesicles fuse with the neuron’s membrane and release their ...

For more than a century, the story of the brain has been told as a tale of neurons, with every thought and memory traced to their electrical chatter. That narrative is now being rewritten as evidence ...

TL;DR: Scientists at the National University of Singapore have developed a silicon transistor that mimics biological neurons and synapses, offering a scalable and energy-efficient solution for ...

The microscopic image shows a nerve cell and a magnified view of the investigated synapses. Calcium was released at these sites using a UV flash, which triggered the release of the neurotransmitter.

As we age, we begin to lose the connections that wire up our brains-and neuroscientists aren't sure why.

The innovative organic materials proposed by Dr. Eunho Lee and his team bring us closer to brain-like computer processors Dr. Lee explains: “Our research shows a simple way to make the next wave of AI ...
