Spiking neural networks (SNNs) have immense potential due to their utilization of synaptic plasticity and ability to take advantage of temporal correlation and low power consumption. The leaky ...

In a recent article published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers successfully demonstrated that lab-grown retinal organoids (ROs) made new synaptic connections, ...

A review highlighting recent advances in genetically encoded fluorescent tools for labeling and selectively manipulating synapses has been published in Nature Reviews Neuroscience. This innovative ...

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and epilepsy (EP) share a complex bidirectional relationship, yet the molecular mechanisms underlying their comorbidity remain insufficiently explored. To identify potential ...

These findings aligned with predictions from the EIN model, elucidating how increased synaptic connections in the brain induce sleep. Understanding the role of synaptic strength in sleep homeostasis ...

A team from Tokyo University of Science has developed a solar cell-based computing device that mimics human synaptic behaviour to use in edge AI processing. The researchers say the device has the ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The complex neural networks of the human brain, with their trillions of interconnected neurons communicating via synapses, endow us with unparalleled cognitive abilities. Yet the ...
