Abstract: In this paper, we propose a biologically plausible computational working memory (WM) model implemented using a spiking neuron model representing a predictable WM mechanism in a single neuron ...

McGill University researchers have developed a light-detecting nanoscale structure that mimics how a neuron processes information. The neuron-like behavior emerges from the materials themselves, ...

Summary: For bilingual individuals, alternating between languages feels completely seamless, but how the human brain manages this process has long remained a mystery. A pioneering study has cracked ...

Orange-arrow loop: Intracranial electrophysiological data are captured by macro-microelectrodes from the subject’s brain and streamed to the data acquisition device and a host computer, where the data ...

Increasing concerns have sparked off advanced, significant research being directed towards the diagnosis and treatment of developmental brain disorders like dyslexia, autism and microcephaly. Our ...

Summary: For a fruit fly, the stakes of a snack are life or death. While scientists previously believed that “sweet” and “bitter” signals traveled down completely separate neural tracks, researchers ...

The discovery of a single neuron responding only to Jennifer Aniston revealed how the brain may use highly specialized cells to represent entire concepts. Justification unsealed for FBI’s seizure of ...

Living organisms are made up of hundreds of thousands of cells that cooperate to create the organs and systems that breathe, eat, move, and think. Now, researchers from Japan have developed a new way ...

States and cities are revising building codes to allow single-stair multifamily buildings, aiming to increase affordable housing while maintaining safety standards. Minnesota’s recent study may guide ...

PythoC lets you use Python as a C code generator, but with more features and flexibility than Cython provides. Here’s a first look at the new C code generator for Python. Python and C share more than ...
