Micronutrient deficiency and depression are major global health problems. Here, we first
review recent empirical evidence of the association between several micronutrients—zinc …

The ability of the brain to store and process information relies on changing the strength of
connections between neurons. Synaptic facilitation is a form of short-term plasticity that …

The combination of a neuromorphic architecture and photonic computing may open up a
new era for computational systems owing to the possibility of attaining high bandwidths and …

▪ Abstract Synaptic transmission is a dynamic process. Postsynaptic responses wax and
wane as presynaptic activity evolves. This prominent characteristic of chemical synaptic …

Imbuing bio-inspired sensory devices with intelligent functions of human sensory organs has
been limited by challenges in emulating the preprocessing abilities of sensory organs such …

Neurons are often considered to be the computational engines of the brain, with synapses
acting solely as conveyers of information. But the diverse types of synaptic plasticity and the …

Different types of synapses are specialized to interpret spike trains in their own way by virtue
of the complement of short-term synaptic plasticity mechanisms they possess. Numerous …

The cerebellum is thought to help detect and correct errors between intended and executed
commands, and is critical for social behaviours, cognition and emotion,,–. Computations for …

It is widely recognized that the neural basis of brain function can be fully understood only by
integrating many disciplines at many levels. Studies of synaptic organization are bringing …

Compared with the traditional von Neumann architecture, neural systems have many
distinctive properties including parallelism, low-power consumption, fault tolerance, self …
