Artificial Neurons can replace some real ones in our brain

Researchers have created the world's first Artificial Neuron which can parody the function of Organic Neuron.This could even replace some of the real neurons in our brain.


Artificial neurons are made of conductive polymers.Neurons store and transmit information in the brain.These are as small as fingertip and contain no living parts.Miniaturizing the neuron size would enable it's implantation into the human body.  
This is a potential way to end neurological disorders like spinal cord injuries and Parkinson's disease."Our artificial neuron is made of conductive polymers and it functions like a human neuron" said Agneta Ritcher-Dahlfors a lead researcher from the Karolinska Institute in Sweden.Neurons communicate in our brain through chemical signals.The first thing that Artificial neuron does is it detects chemical signals which are then transmitted electrically from one neuron to another.Then the electrical signals release chemical neurotransmitters in response.Well,Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers that carry signals in the brain.Artificial neurons are also able to communicate over large distances.By replacing artificial neurons in the place of a damaged nerve cell can be helpful  to develop new treatments for neurological disorders.In another breakthrough MIT engineers designed a chip with artificial synapses.Synapses are the connections which allow's neurons to communicate with  one another.
Artificial synapse allows for precise control of electrical currents flowing along them,it's similar to the way ions flow between neurons.The process resembles the way how synapses synchronize the nerve cells in the human brain.The artificial synaptic chip which is designed by MIT engineers recognized samples of handwriting with an accuracy of 95%.Artificial Synapses are the key things for building an artificial brain,these chips can be a part for making portable artificial intelligence devices.That could perform complex computations in the                                                                                          future

The Drug to prevent MIGRAINE

Scientists have developed a new drug to prevent migraine :                                          Erenumab is an injectable drug that blocks pain signals in the brain.The drug, called   Erenumab consists of human antibodies. It   works by targeting a receptor in the brain where a protein associated with migraines usually blinds. This protein transmits migraine pain signals during an attack. Erenumab blocks this receptor. thus preventing a migraine attack. the drug reduced the number of monthly migraine attacks by more than 50%.   No side   effects of this drug were recorded in human patients. Migraine is a neurological disorder characterized by a severe throbbing pain on one or both sides of the head. In some cases, head pain may be accompained by other symptoms including Naused, vomiting, numbness or tingling in the face. Patients may be also experience sensi...

Paying with your face

No credit cards, debit cards, cheques ,vouchers ,cryptocurrencies. Just smile into the camera and your payment is done Interesting isn't it,  this is the  technology from Face++.Already this has been used in many popular apps.In China now it is possible to transfer money through Alipay a new revolutionary mobile payments app used by more than 120 million people in China.This uses only your face as  credentials.This system seems to work quite simple.Once a picture is uploaded into the system, payments confirmations,Identity verifications goes immediately in place by itself. This can also detect gender,differentiate face,eye status and much moreApart from that new payments app Didi, one of the most authoritative ride-hailing company of China uses the Face ++ software to let passengers confirm that the person behind the vehicle is a  legitimate and licensed d river. .. Face  payments can improve the financial security of the user.   This Face++ software is al...
