Our colleagues from IBI-3, RWTH Aachen and colleagues from Polytechnique Montréal, Canada have published (16.07.2024) a paper in Neuromorphic Computing and Engineering. The paper examines the behavior of biogel-based organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) using PEDOT:PSS as the channel and gate material and investigates the impact of electrolyte viscosity and cation diffusivity on short-term plasticity, as well as the effect of neurotransmitter-mediated long-term plasticity.

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).

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.
