Researchers develop transistor that simultaneously processes and stores information like the human brain. Transistor goes beyond categorization tasks to perform associative learning. Transistor ...

Complex language is often considered a feature that distinguishes us from the rest of the animal world. Some theories claim that the language center of the brain evolved specifically to help us with ...

Our brains have upwards of 86 billion neurons, connected by synapses that not only complete a myriad of logic circuits; they continuously adapt to stimuli, strengthening some connections while ...

At what age did you begin learning about electronics? What was the state of the art available to you at the time and what kinds of things were you building? For each reader these answers can be wildly ...

A technical paper titled “Neuromorphic analog circuits for robust on-chip always-on learning in spiking neural networks” was published by researchers at Institute of Neuroinformatics, University of ...

A technical paper titled “Neuromorphic analog circuits for robust on-chip always-on learning in spiking neural networks” was published by researchers at University of Zurich and ETH Zurich.

Here we discuss the neural circuits mediating fear learning. Specifically we focus on recent discoveries concerning the circuits that carry auditory and aversive information to the amygdala, on how ...

Microprocessors in smartphones, computers, and data centers process information by manipulating electrons through solid semiconductors, but our brains have a different system. They rely on the ...

Addiction is a complex phenomenon. Genetic, physiological, cultural and socioeconomic factors all appear to play a role. Now, new research in rats shows that heroin addiction activates brain circuits ...
