Neuroscientists Apply New 'Light Switch' Method to Decrypt Neuronal Microwiring

Applying a new method to decode the microwiring of the brain, Norwegian neuroscientists have used an optogenetic light switch to literally see which neurons communicate with each other in one small section of the brain.

Neural networks could run on native 'neuristors' in the future

A combination of capacitors with a new element called memristor, currently under development, will allow the construction of computational elements that work with neuron-like spikes, miniaturized on a chip. The authors of a study published in "Nature Materials" in December describing such a device n...
