Vitamins and minerals are essential to humans as they play essential roles in a variety of
basic metabolic pathways that support fundamental cellular functions. In particular, their …

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

The energy demands of the brain are high: they account for at least 20% of the body's
energy consumption. Evolutionary studies indicate that the emergence of higher cognitive …

Data collected on astrocytes' physiology in the rodent have placed them as key regulators of
synaptic, neuronal, network, and cognitive functions. While these findings proved highly …

Sleep is universal, tightly regulated, and its loss impairs cognition. But why does the brain
need to disconnect from the environment for hours every day? The synaptic homeostasis …

In this paper, we describe the design of Neurogrid, a neuromorphic system for simulating
large-scale neural models in real time. Neuromorphic systems realize the function of …

Neuromorphic computing is henceforth a major research field for both academic and
industrial actors. As opposed to Von Neumann machines, brain-inspired processors aim at …

Neuroscience research has exploded, with more than fifty thousand neuroscientists applying
increasingly advanced methods. A mountain of new facts and mechanisms has emerged …

A reliable functional neural circuit can estimate the information encoding and signal
exchange between neurons, and thus the recognition of electric activities in biological …

It is a widespread notion that the proportion of glial to neuronal cells in the brain increases
with brain size, to the point that glial cells represent “about 90% of all cells in the human …
