Ateam of Israeli researchers grew self-organizing networks of rat brain cells by binding them to carbon nanotubes. New Scientist wrote that these neural networks are remarkably stable, after they survived for a record three months in a lab.
I was interested in a story posted today about growing networks of neurons in rats… at Emerging Technology Trends in Roland Piquepaille’s story … Mixing brain cells and nanodots ….
Piquepaille said… “These hybrid networks could be used in future biological sensors. For example, they could identify a poison by measuring its effect on such a network of brain cells….”
Check out a brief description of this breakthrough research led by Yael Hanein of
Check out the abstract and the full paper for details of Yael Hanein’s research activity and publications. What do you think of this new breakthrough to grow brain cell networks?
