Efforts to design devices emulating complex cognitive abilities and response processes of
biological systems have long been a coveted goal. Recent advancements in flexible …

During learning, the brain modifies synapses to improve behaviour. In the cortex, synapses
are embedded within multilayered networks, making it difficult to determine the effect of an …

Artificial intelligence now advances by performing twice as many floating-point
multiplications every two months, but the semiconductor industry tiles twice as many …

In the nervous system, dendrites, branches of neurons that transmit signals between
synapses and soma, play a critical role in processing functions, such as nonlinear …

In 1986, electron microscopy was used to reconstruct by hand the entire nervous system of a
roundworm, the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. Since this landmark study, high …

The last decade has produced exciting new ideas about retrosplenial cortex (RSC) and its
role in integrating diverse inputs. Here, we review the diversity in forms of spatial and …

Multicompartment emulation is an essential step to enhance the biological realism of
neuromorphic systems and to further understand the computational power of neurons. In this …

INTRODUCTION The brain of mammals consists of an enormously dense network of
neuronal wires: the axons and dendrites of nerve cells. Their packing density is so high that …

Dendrites have always fascinated researchers: from the artistic drawings by Ramon y Cajal
to the beautiful recordings of today, neuroscientists have been striving to unravel the …

As semiconductor technology enters the more than Moore era, there exists an apparent
contradiction between the rapidly growing demands for data processing and the visible …
