Our colleagues have published a paper in Materials Horizons /Bruno U., Rana D., Ausilio C., Mariano A., Bettucci O., Musall S., Lubrano C. and Santoro F., Mater. Horiz., 2024, Advance Article, https://doi.org/10.1039/D3MH02202A/ , which was selected as a part of the themed collection: Memristors and Neuromorphic Systems . In this manuscript a brain-inspired closed-loop system has been demonstrated for the accomplishment of motor control and actuation tasks, through a learning process mediated by a neurotransmitter.

Our IBI-3 colleagues Csaba Forro, Simon Musall, Viviana Ricon Montes, Andreas Offenhäusser, Francesca Santoro and other researchers at RWTH Aachen University published in J. of Adv. Healthcare Mater. a perspective review paper on the development of neural interfaces (https://doi.org/10.1002/adhm.202301055).

In our new Scientific Reports publication Cepkenovic et al describes how small mechanical stimuli applied to a single neuron can have wide reaching and long lasting effects on neuronal network signalling. /Cepkenovic B, Friedland F, Noetzel E, Maybeck V, Offenhäusser A. Single-neuron mechanical perturbation evokes calcium plateaus that excite and modulate the network. Sci Rep. 2023 Nov 24;13(1):20669, doi: 10.1038/s41598-023-47090-z./
