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 ...

Developing motor neurons from stem cells taken directly from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients offers new hope for better understanding and treatment of the fatal neurodegenerative disorder ...

Scientists have developed a new kind of laser-based artificial neuron that mimics a biological nerve cell. This artificial neuron could boost high-speed computing and artificial intelligence (AI), ...

Despite enormous progress in the past two decades, the intentional control of bionic prostheses remains a challenge and the subject of intensive research. Now, scientists at the Medical University of ...

MyoRegulator, a device to be used at home to slow disability progression in ALS, has been granted breakthrough device ...

AI-generated voice clones are bringing back the voices of people with MND, allowing some to communicate, connect, and even perform comedy routines. Jules Rodriguez lost his voice in October of last ...

Unlike the brain and spinal cord, peripheral nerve cells, whose long extensions reach the skin and internal organs, are capable of regenerating after injury. This is why injuries to the central ...

Areflexic, or flaccid, bladder and bowels occur when the spinal cord injury is low enough to damage the cauda equina and alpha motor neurons. It also occurs in all spinal cord injury patients during ...

An MND sufferer who spoke like a ‘robot’ for years can now use her own voice – thanks to an old VHS clip of her changing her baby’s nappy. Sarah Ezekiel was left without a voice or use of her hands, ...

Researchers developed a chip-based quantum-dot laser that emulates a biological graded neuron while achieving a signal processing speed of 10 GBaud. WASHINGTON — Researchers have developed a ...
