Episode 5: Artificial neuron made from VO2
An artificial neuron made from vanadium dioxide precisely mimics the behavior of normal and faulty neurons in the brain. This could have important implications for neuroscience. Read the abstract in Frontiers in Neuroscience. TranscriptPATEL: Our brains conduct information through electrical signals. Little voltage spikes that neurons pass around. And the frequency of those little spikes encodes information. But disorders like depression or ADHD can weaken these signals or alter their frequency. Here’s Shriram Ramanathan at Purdue University, with a materials engineer’s take.SHRIRAM…
