Neurons—the nerve cells responsible for transmitting electrical and chemical signals throughout the body—are organized in tissue, tending to cluster together in groups according to how they function.

For more than eighty years, deep learning has relied on a simplified model of brain function. The 1943 McCulloch-Pitts model of the neuron fueled breakthroughs in image recognition, speech synthesis ...

Artificial neurons modeled on biology learn independently, self-organizing and adapting based on information from their local network environment. (Nanowerk News) Novel artificial neurons learn ...

Most people wouldn’t give Geobacter sulfurreducens a second look. The bacteria was first discovered in a ditch in rural Oklahoma. But the lowly microbe has a superpower. It grows protein nanotubes ...

Living neurons receive signals from different sources, process them and pass an output signal on to other neurons (left). In the artificial neuron model, this information processing can be described ...
