Living neurons receive signals from different sources, process them and pass an output signal on to other neurons (left). In the artificial neuron model, this information processing can be described and improved by a learning objective (right). Similar to their biological models, this independent learning allows novel artificial neurons to solve tasks in a self-organized way. Photo: Andreas Schneider

Artificial neurons organize themselves

Göttingen research team constructs network of self-learning infomorphic neurons   Novel artificial neurons learn independently and are more strongly modeled on their biological counterparts. A team of researchers from the Göttingen Campus Institute for Dynamics of Biological Networks (CIDBN) at the University of Göttingen and the Max Planck Institute for

Understanding mitochondrial protein import: a revised model of the presequence translocase

Authors Jain N, Chacinska A, Rehling P Journal Trends in Biochemical Sciences Citation Trends Biochem Sci. 2025 Mar 27:S0968-0004(25)00050-7. Abstract Mitochondrial function relies on the precise targeting and import of cytosolic proteins into mitochondrial subcompartments. Most matrix-targeted proteins follow the presequence pathway, which directs precursor proteins across the outer mitochondrial
