New lab-built neuron mirrors real brain cells in energy, runs on just 0.1 volts
The team’s advance changes this. “Ours register only 0.1 volts, which about the same as the neurons in our bodies,” says Yao. With this low-voltage design, the artificial neurons could integrate not ...
Researcher have uncovered a new cell type in the human brain that fires electrical impulses. The cells are hybrids, part neuron and part glia, and are present in both glioma, a type of brain tumor, ...
