New research shows a single neuron in fruit flies can trigger two distinct behaviors in response to the same smell.

Researchers have developed a “laser-powered artificial neuron,” which is like a supercharged version of a biological neuron. This chip-based laser neuron mimics how human neurons work, but it ...

The post Every Neuron And Synapse Of A Fruit Fly’s Brain Have Been Mapped And Can Be Explored Digitally For The First Time ...

Back in 2020, a team from Stanford linked up an artificial neuron with isolated biological ones, showing that an artificial neuron could hybridize with a biological one using dopamine as the trigger.

Researchers developed a laser-based artificial neuron that fully emulates the functions, dynamics and information processing of a biological graded neuron, which could lead to new breakthroughs in ...

In that sense, like a biological neuron, they fire or they don’t. But that’s about as far as the similarities go. What made the perceptron remarkable compared with prior computers was that it could ...

GPUs go biological: BBB unveils Bionode, lab-grown, living neuron compute for AI applications. Carl Franzen @carlfranzen. March 18, 2025 11:47 AM. Credit: VentureBeat made with ...

The blue represents the nucleus of each individual neuron (2). The red/pink is a marker of neuronal activity, showing which neurons were active when this image was created (3). Biology in the ...

Prucnal told Shastri about his research creating “a laser that behaves like a biological neuron,” Shastri says, and how the team was looking to use such a laser to compute with light.

The first wiring diagram of every neuron in an adult brain and the 50 million connections between them has been produced for a fruit fly.
