The body contains various types of nerve cells, including graded neurons ... "Our laser graded neuron overcomes the speed limitations of current photonic versions of spiking neurons and has ...

Previously, “both physicists and neuroscientists have largely dismissed the relevance of standard quantum mechanics to neuronal processes, as quantum effects are thought to disappear at the large ...

QRL-101 is designed to open Kv7.2/7.3 ion channels, which work as gates for potassium in nerve cells and help control their ...

For example, keeping hold of a hot object requires a nerve impulse to be sent to the motor neuron of the reflex arc to interfere with the normal reflex action to drop the object.

Scientists have developed a new kind of laser-based artificial neuron that mimics a biological nerve cell. This artificial neuron could boost high-speed computing and artificial intelligence (AI ...
