The advance from a team with Professor Tobin Marks and research assistant professor Yao Yao could enable perceptual ...

For the analysis, only neurons whose average firing rate was between 15 and 25 Hz were used. At higher sustained firing rates, recording stability tended to degrade more quickly. Data were ...

Artificially engineered biological processes, such as perception systems, remain an elusive target for organic electronics ...

Action potential shapes and firing patterns differ widely among different types of neurons. One recognizable phenotype is that of fast-spiking neurons, which are capable of firing steadily at high ...

Researchers from Northwestern and Georgia Tech developed an organic electrochemical neuron that fires at human-like frequencies, enabling real-time tactile signal processing. Their system integrates ...

Forget the traditional tubular shape—researchers are investigating a pearl-on-a-string formation for axons, unlocking new ...

Individual cells in the brain light up for specific ideas. These concept neurons, once known as “Jennifer Aniston cells,” ...

A team led by researchers at Georgia State University has identified a novel group of neurons controlling the brain-heart-gut ...

A new collaboration between Northwestern University and Georgia Tech has led to the development of an artificial electrochemical neuron that mimics human neural responses, paving the way for smarter ...

A new study has identified a group of neurons that, when activated, can induce a hypometabolic state, akin to hibernation. The discovery could have far-reaching implications for conditions like ...

Specific protein receptors in the brain play a vital role in how neurons slow down or stop firing, making them targets for many disorders. Researchers have now constructed a detailed structural map of ...

“After nerve injury, we found the sensory neurons do not fire as individual incidents, but they fire as a group in the DRG. We call it a clustered firing,” said Zhang, MD, professor and vice ...
