Implant made of living neurons connects to mouse brain

Experimental brain implants containing tens of thousands of living neurons can form cellular connections with mouse brains. Such devices could eventually provide sophisticated control over millions of neurons at the individual cell level, without relying on surgically implanted electrodes that penetrate and destroy brain tissue. There is.

Developed by California-based startup Science Corporation, the biohybrid implant is similar to many other brain-computer interface devices that typically have electrode arrays that penetrate the brain and, in some cases, damage cells. It is different from. In comparison, Science’s implants…
