Researchers develop an artificial neuron that closely mimics the characteristics of a biological neuron
In a recent article published in Natural materialsthe researchers reported an organic electrochemical conductance-based neuron (c-OECN) that mimicked biological signaling in neurons, specifically the activation/inactivation of their sodium and potassium channels. Study: Ion-tunable antiambipolarity in mixed ion-electron conducting polymers enables biorealistic organic electrochemical neurons.
