Gene yields insights into the causes of neurodegeneration

July 9, 2020 sarah Jonas Alzheimer's Disease, Neuro

Cornell researchers including Fenghua Hu, associate professor in the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics and member of the Weill Institute for Cell and Molecular Biology, are taking a closer look at the factors that cause Alzheimer’s, FTLD and similar diseases. Hu’s latest study, “A role of the frontotemporal lobar degeneration risk factor TMEM106B in myelination,” was published June 23 in the journal Brain.

Recipe for Neuromorphic Processing Systems?

March 24, 2020 sarah Jonas Applied Physics Letters, Bielefeld University, Computing, Internet of Things, Neural, Neural Networks, Neuro, Physics, University of Zurich

The field of “brain-mimicking” neuromorphic electronics shows great potential for basic research and commercial applications, and researchers in Germany and Switzerland recently explored the possibility of reproducing the physics of real neural circuits by using the physics of silicon. In Applied Physics Letters, they present their work to understand neural processing systems, as well as a recipe to reproduce these computing principles in mixed signal analog/digital electronics and novel materials.
