A fully functional neuron capable of mimicking a function of the human nervous system has been artificially constructed for the first time, paving the way for radical new treatments to neurological ...

A dendrite – an extension of a neuron - from a 12-month-old human cerebral cortex neuron, grown from human stem cells and transplanted into a mouse cerebral cortex. Two human-specific genes, SRGAP2B ...

An artificial neuron made of conductive plastics that can perform advanced functions similar to those of biological nerve cells has been demonstrated by researchers at Linköping University, Sweden.

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or ...

The human brain must be able to link memory content to the circumstances in which it occurs. Researchers in Bonn have now discovered how the human brain uses two different groups of neurons to store ...

Researchers working at the OpenAI startup have discovered the presence of a multinodal neuron in an artificially intelligent network. The multinodal neuron, which is able to recognise a consistent ...

Made from human cells, researchers have created tiny biological robots – called Anthrobots – that can move across surfaces and even encourage regrowth in damaged regions in dishes of lab-grown neurons ...

Nerve cells are not just nerve cells. Depending on how finely we distinguish, there are several hundred to several thousand different types of nerve cell in the human brain according to the latest ...
