Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Artificial neurons developed to fight disease
Neurons, or nerve cells, are the basic units
of our nervous system. They respond to electrical signals from the nervous
system and carry signals to and from the brain and the rest of the body. Since
neurons of an Alzheimer's patient degenerate or die, replicating neurons could
pave the way to treat the brain disorder.
Recently, researchers in England have
developed artificial neurons that respond to electrical signals from the
nervous system. They replicated two types of neurons, brain cells that control
memory and breathing in miniature brain chips that act like the real neurons.
Will we soon see Google or SoftBank medical
solutions that provide chips or cloud services to doctors and patients?
Enjoy reading the article and learn about this
new digital medical solution.
