At the core of neuronal communication lie action potentials, brief, rapid electrical impulses that travel down the axon to transmit information for brain function. Abnormalities in neuron firing are ...

The brain is constantly mapping the external world like a GPS, even when we don't know about it. This activity comes in the form of tiny electrical signals sent between neurons—specialized cells that ...

For decades, scientists have tried to build electronics that behave like the brain. The idea is called neuromorphic computing in which chips are designed to copy the way our brain’s neurons fire and ...
