Neurons react to electrical signals

January 7, 2020 Greg Swiecicki

A research team led by the University of Bath as well as scientists from the universities of Bristol, Zurich and Auckland described artificial neurons in the journal “Nature Communications“. From the article, we can learn that artificial neurons react to electrical signals from the nervous system like real, which has been the goal of scientists for decades. This gives tremendous treatment options for diseases whose neurons do not work properly, e.g. spinal cord injury. Artificial neurons can repair diseased bio-circuits by replicating their healthy functions and responding appropriately to biological feedback to restore proper body function. As well as researchers, they designed silicon chips. Silicon chips behave just like real biological neurons and need one billionth of the power of a typical microprocessor, which also works great in medical implants and bioelectronic devices. Ultimately, scientists created the full dynamics of hippocampal and respiratory neurons.

Although data breaches are more frequent, most of us think that they will not happen to us. In August, reports presented statistics that the number of violations increased in 2019 by 54%. We should really think about it and not only think “if” will happen but just start to protect ourselves from “when” it will happen.
