Together with the artificial neural networks of McCulloch and Pitts ... including the shape and propagation of the action potential, its sharp threshold, refractory period, anode-break excitation ...

The neuron is stimulated by the pulses or waveform generated digitally through the MEA. The response of the neuron, typically an action potential, is transformed by different parameters across the ...

Discover how neural stem cells activate in the adult human brain, unlocking potential for regeneration, repair, and new ...

Figure 2. Spiking deep Q network with potential-based layer normalization. It has the same network structure as DQN, with three layers of convolution and two layers of full connection. The network ...

New research explores the many ways our sensory experiences overlaps, teaching us new ways the brain perceives ...

A University of Ottawa neuroscientist has led a Canadian research team to reveal important new insights into the activation ...

Researchers have discovered that "dessert stomach," the second wind one gets when consuming sweets, is real and in your head.

In order for a neuron to transmit its own signal, it must first be sufficiently activated by incoming signals from other neurons via its dendrites. Then, an action potential is generated in its ...

Scientists have discovered that neural stem cells (NSCs) receive constant feedback from their daughter cells, influencing whether they remain dormant or activate to form new neurons and glia.

New research on nematodes reveals how glial cells maintain and monitor neuronal dendrites. Neurons may get all the glory, but they would be nothing without glial cells. While brain cells do the heavy ...

Hence, researchers often simulate the brain as a network of coupled neural masses, each described by a mean-field model. These models capture the essential features of neuronal populations while ...
