Neurons, the cells in brains and spinal cords that make up the central nervous system, communicate by firing electrical pulses. But scientists have found hints that neurons may transmit light as well, ...

Every organism must be able to respond to stimuli in its environment, but when animal sizes strain the limits of neuron signaling, how do these massive creatures adapt?

New research has settled the debate between ‘kiss-and-run’ and ‘full-collapse’ fusion to explain how neurons transmit signals across synapses. Scientists from the University of Science and Technology ...

The brain is the body's command center, and neurons are the workhorses that carry out its commands. They transmit signals ...

Modern artificial intelligence systems, from robotic surgery to high-frequency trading, rely on processing streams of raw data in real time. Extracting important features quickly is critical, but ...
