When a neuron’s dendrite or cell body receives enough inputs from other neurons via chemical or electrical synapses and a particular threshold for that neuron is exceeded, the neuron is triggered to ...

A model neuron is referred to as a threshold unit and its function is illustrated in Figure 1a. It receives input from a number of other units or external sources, weighs each input and adds them up.

Previously, “both physicists and neuroscientists have largely dismissed the relevance of standard quantum mechanics to neuronal processes, as quantum effects are thought to disappear at the large ...

QRL-101 is designed to open Kv7.2/7.3 ion channels, which work as gates for potassium in nerve cells and help control their ...

Scientists have developed a new kind of laser-based artificial neuron that mimics a biological nerve cell. This artificial neuron could boost high-speed computing and artificial intelligence (AI ...

Huntington's disease is a rare genetic, autosomal dominant, neurodegenerative disease, caused by CAG repeat expansions in the HTT gene, that is polymorphic on the healthy allele and contains more than ...

Researchers developed a nanoscale quantum resonant tunnelling diode that mimics a sensory neuron, detecting light, processing ...
