A team of researchers from the International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory (INL) has reshaped the future of brain-inspired computing by developing a tiny quantum resonant tunneling diode (RTD), ...

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

Neurons are cells in the body that are responsible for transmitting electrical signals through the nervous system. Different types of neurons affect the ability to move, which begins as an impulse ...

Confocal micrograph of a peripheral sensory neuron in culture. Marker stains and antibodies are used to identify neurons (red), c-Fos protein (green) and nuclei (blue). Note the nuclear ...

While this group of colorful neurons was grown in a dish from stem cells, in the body neurons like this are responsible for sensing pain. There is a specialized subset of sensory neurons called ...

Movement neuron activity persisted even when sensory input from the whisker pad was blocked, suggesting additional influences and supporting the role of thalamic input.

A reflex action follows this general sequence and does not involve the conscious part of the brain. This is why the response is so fast. Receptor in the skin detects a stimulus (the change in ...

The brain's ability to process information is known to be supported by intricate connections between different neuron populations. A key objective of neuroscience research has been to delineate ...
