In 2022, a team of scientists led by associate professor Simone Fabiano demonstrated how an artificial organic neuron could be integrated into a living carnivorous plant to control the opening and closing of its maw. This synthetic nerve cell met two of the 20 characteristics that differentiate it from a biological nerve cell.<\/p>\n<p>In their latest study, published in the journal <i>Nature Materials<\/i>, the same researchers at LiU have developed a new artificial nerve cell called conductance-based organic electrochemical neuron, or c-OECN, which closely mimics 15 out of the 20 neural features that characterize biological nerve cells, making its functioning much more similar to natural nerve cells.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Researchers at Link\u00f6ping University (LiU), Sweden, have created an artificial organic neuron that closely mimics the characteristics of biological nerve cells.
