Futuristic Brain Probe Allows for Wireless Control of Neurons

NIH-funded scientists developed an ultra-thin, minimally invasive device for controlling brain cells with drugs and light

Bethesda, Maryland–(ENEWSPF)–July 16, 2015. A study showed that scientists can wirelessly determine the path a mouse walks with a press of a button. Researchers at the Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, and University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, created a remote controlled, next-generation tissue implant that allows neuroscientists to inject drugs and shine lights on neurons deep inside the…
