Implant made with residing neurons connects to mouse brains

An experimental mind implant containing tens of 1000’s of residing neurons can kind cell connections with the brains of mice. Such a tool may ultimately allow subtle management over thousands and thousands of neurons on the extent of particular person cells – however with out counting on surgically implanted electrodes that penetrate and destroy mind tissue.

The biohybrid implant, developed by California-based start-up Science Company, differs from many different brain-computer interface units, which often include arrays of electrodes that penetrate the mind and generally injury cells. As compared, Science Company’s implant is…
