International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory (INL) researchers have developed a neuromorphic photonic semiconductor neuron ...

Experiments suggest that an unusual magnetic material can help harness energy from the planet’s rotation. But not everyone is ...

The laboratory of Ege Kavalali, professor and chair of the Department of Pharmacology, published a paper in Nature ...

The device, inspired by the way biological neurons process information, has the ability to detect light and convert it into ...

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

Over the last two decades we uncovered a family of “homeostatic” plasticity mechanisms, including Synaptic Scaling, that allow neurons to adjust their excitability to maintain constant firing rates ..

The study is published in the journal Neuron. Place cells are specialized neurons in the hippocampus that help animals navigate by creating firing patterns that encode locations within the animals ...

Study shows maternal immune activation alters hippocampal neuron excitability in newborn rats, with implications for autism, schizophrenia, and depression.

The ThermoMaze behavioral paradigm enables the collection of extensive physiological data while animals remain at distinct experimenter-controlled locations during rest.
