Researchers discover the SELK neuron, a single-cell decision-maker in fruit flies that weighs sweet vs. bitter signals to determine whether to eat or flee.

For the fruit fly, a sense of taste is critical to whether it thrives or dies. The little winged creature has taste organs in ...

When we learn a new skill, the brain has to decide—cell by cell—what to change. New research from MIT suggests it can do that ...

Scientists created an artificial neuron that operates at the same voltage as living cells and is able to communicate with the human brain.

Scientists have successfully mapped the brain neurons (neurons) activated when mice make decisions, marking the first large-scale recording of individual neuron activity across the entire mouse brain.

Two types of neurons in the skin may be particularly important for how the brain interprets social contact between people, according to a new study led by Linköping University in Sweden. Knowledge of ...

Photonics is gaining momentum as a platform for high-speed AI computing. Researchers in Singapore have demonstrated a passive, ultrafast, and integration-ready all-optical nonlinear activation ...

Researchers have discovered how an ion channel in the brain's neurons has a kind of 'molecular memory', which contributes to the formation and preservation of lifelong memories. The researchers have ...
