In a Hybrid Neural Circuit, Artificial and Biological Neurons Used Dopamine to Communicate

In just half a decade, neuromorphic devices--or brain-inspired computing--already seem quaint. The current darling? Artificial-biological hybrid computing, uniting both man-made computer chips and biological neurons seamlessly into semi-living circuits. It sounds crazy, but a new study in Nature Materials shows that it's possible to get an artificial neuron to communicate directly with a biological one […]
