The neuro-chip  

Details of The neuro-chip



German investigators, directed from Roland Thewes, together to a group of scientists of the Max-Planck-Institut, have put to point an innovative technology to semiconductors that will give the possibility to read, through a computer, mark transmitted them from the nervous cells. Draft of the neuro-chip, chip a bio-sensor that is successful, in the first experimentations, to pick up and to record with happening marks them electrical workers of the neurons of some snails.

That will more allow one deepened acquaintance of the cerebral functions, allowing perhaps the development of aimed therapies in order to cure neurological pathologies, between which the morbo of Alzheimer. With chip the bio-sensor, as an example, the cure will be applied directly to the ill nervous cells observing as they react.

Currently, for monitorare the activity electrical worker of a single cell, the students use microscopical needles, a method that stretches to damage the cell preventing one study deepened for along period. Instead the neuro-chip, large like a nail, he implements 16 mila sensors that controllanno, with extreme accuracy, the impulses electrical workers of the cells without to damage them.

The technology has been announced from the Infineon Technologies AG, the company of promotrice Monaco of the search.
