the neuron is triggered to send an action potential across its axon. Overall, action potentials are all-or-nothing signals because their response is usually the same amplitude and duration. The ...

In order for a neuron to transmit its own signal, it must first be sufficiently activated by incoming signals from other neurons via its dendrites. Then, an action potential is generated in its ...

Shedding light on how the brain fine-tunes its wiring during learning, a new study finds that different dendritic segments of a single neuron follow ...

thanks to a flow of ions across the neuron’s cell membrane. This results in an experimentally detectable change in electrical potential difference across the membrane known as the “action potential” ...

In contrast, biological spiking neurons transmit information using all-or-none action ... neuron, but we believe that cascading multiple laser graded neurons will further unlock their potential ...
