Topic: biohybrid synapse

Neuromorphic electronics, inspired by the functions of neurons, have the potential to enable biomimetic communication with cells. Such systems require operation in aqueous environments, generation of sufficient levels of ionic currents for neurostimulation, and plasticity. However, their implementation requires a combination of separate devices, such as sensors, organic synaptic transistors, and stimulation electrodes. Here, we present a compact neuromorphic synapse that combines photodetection, memory, and neurostimulation functionalities all-in-one. The artificial photoreception is facilitat
