A recent TechXplore article discussed the latest “body part on a chip.” This time, it’s artificial neurons on silicone chips that could lead to medical devices capable of curing chronic diseases associated with neuronal degeneration such as heart failure and Alzheimer’s. The electronic neurons, developed by a team of researchers at the University of Bath in England, behave exactly like the natural ones by responding to electrical signals from the nervous system.
