Scientists finally develop artificial neurons that mimic our brain cells

Neurons in a human brain have been somewhat of a mystery for scientists. Unlike the traditional electrical circuits, the inner workings of the biological circuitry in the brain have always been less than predictable, apart from the complex biology they exhibit. Scientists at the University of Bath now seem to have decoded the bizarre behavior of our brain cells and replicated it on tiny silicon chips. Researchers from the Universities of Bristol, Zurich & Auckland collaborated on this effort. Designing artificial neurons has been a challenge for medical researchers for decades.
