Nearly all the neural networks that power modern artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT are based on a 1960s-era computational model of a living neuron. A new model developed at the ...

This new model has led to the identification of novel therapeutic targets that could potentially block tau spread. The preclinical study, published April 5 in Cell, is a significant advancement in ...

Grant Harvey is the daily writer of The Neuron, a TechnologyAdvice AI newsletter for non-technical people. He spends his days analyzing AI tools and the industry-at-large, then breaking them down in a ...

Weill Cornell Medicine scientists have developed an innovative human neuron model that robustly simulates the spread of tau protein aggregates in the brain—a process that drives cognitive ...

Researchers at the University of Southern California have made a significant breakthrough in understanding how the human brain forms, stores and recalls visual memories. A new study, published in ...

In a circuit, it could be analogous to the states of the voltage-gated sodium channel in a neuron model. Notably, at 4.15 eV (electron affinity), BBL could sustain high doping levels.

The therapeutic molecules self-assemble into nanofibers, which bond to the neuron-killing proteins. Now trapped, the toxic proteins can no longer enter neurons and instead harmlessly degrade.
