Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a method and device for detecting, stimulating and regenerating sensory, motor and visceral signals of vertebrates including humans, in particular to a microelectronic system-assisted nerve channel function recovery method and device thereof. Background technique
[0002] Nerve injury and regeneration has always been an important topic in neuroscience research. Nerve regeneration in the true sense should be the reconnection of interrupted nerves along the original channels at the proximal and distal ends through the division and proliferation or automatic growth of nerve cells. Recently, a research team led by Professor Anderson of the University of California, Irvine, has made progress in using human neural stem cells to repair spinal cord injuries in mice ("Science Times" September 23, 2005). However, this experiment has the following problems:
[0003] 1) They injected human neural stem cells 9 days after spinal nerve inju...
