When AI gets on your nerves: Physiologists use neural networks to analyze function of ion channels

Deep neural networks will allow signal transfer of nerve cells to be analyzed in real time in the future. That is the result of a study conducted by physiologists at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) that has been published in the journal Communications Chemistry. The method is not only of relevance for neuromedicine, it can also be used for investigating chemical reactions.
