USC researchers have taken a major step toward closing that gap in their study published in Nature Communications.
Led by Paul Bogdan, the team discovered that the electrical activity of just a single neuron contains hidden memory that can decode the structure and function of entire brain networks—opening new pathways for NeuroAI, energy-efficient intelligence, and brain-inspired computing.
