As in larger brains, mouse visual cortex neurons with the same function cluster in columns. For over 50 years, it has been known that in the cerebral cortex of many mammals, neurons with the same ...

Artificial neurons modeled on biology learn independently, self-organizing and adapting based on information from their local network environment. (Nanowerk News) Novel artificial neurons learn ...

Living neurons receive signals from different sources, process them and pass an output signal on to other neurons (left). In the artificial neuron model, this information processing can be described ...
