Connections made via apical synapses seemed to be strengthened by movement information more than those made via basal ...

In developing the infomorphic neurons, the team was inspired by the way the brain works, especially by the pyramidal cells in the cerebral cortex. These also process stimuli from different sources in ...

New research reveals that individual neurons follow multiple learning rules simultaneously, challenging the long-held belief that synaptic plasticity operates uniformly throughout the brain.

Inspired by pyramidal cells in the cerebral cortex, these neurons process local signals to adapt and specialize in tasks without external control. Each infomorphic neuron determines whether to ...

Researchers have developed "infomorphic neurons" that learn independently, mimicking their biological counterparts more accurately than previous artificial neurons. A team of researchers from the ...

The scientists were inspired by pyramidal cells in the cerebral cortex, which are known for learning from nearby signals. Using this idea, they programmed their artificial neurons to follow simple ...

In particular, there are two main, non-overlapping populations of cortical pyramidal cells, the most common neurons in the cerebral cortex. These include intratelencephalic (IT) neurons and pyramidal ...

"We must do this for many other diseases, especially frequent diseases that affect children, like cerebral palsy." More ...
