termed Correlated Light and Electron Microscopy (CLEM), allowed the researchers to measure the function (feature selectivity) and structure (strength) of populations of synapses from several neurons.

As artificial intelligence and smart devices continue to evolve, machine vision is taking an increasingly pivotal role as a ...

Uniting structure and function of synapses is challenging: Function is studied in living tissue, measuring electrical signals at millisecond precision with electrophysiology, while the observation of ...

Illuminating the brain one neuron and synapse at a time – 5 essential reads about how researchers are using new tools to map its structure and function Published: August 4, 2022 8:22am EDT ...

Neurons vary in structure, function, and genetic makeup ... Action potentials can trigger both chemical and electrical synapses. Synapses are locations where neurons can pass these electrical ...

Using the nematode C. elegans as a model, the researchers developed new methods to measure function of active electrical synapses called gap junctions, and they deployed live cell imaging ...

While there are many differences in structure and function when fly and mammalian systems are compared, several functions of the Drosophila glypicans and syndecan are mimicked in mammals ...

Understanding the human brain and figuring out how to mimic it, is one of the greatest challenges in artificial intelligence development. Understanding the human brain and figuring out how to ...
