Now, researchers from Japan have developed a self-powered artificial synapse that distinguishes colors with high resolution across the visible spectrum, approaching human eye capabilities.

Those changes may trigger astrocytes to release gliotransmitters — signaling molecules similar to neurotransmitters — into the synapse. “There’s a closed circle between neuron signaling and ...
