Robot with rat brain, helping scientists to investigate memory
Used cars from hand to hand: the site of the famous newspaper will help you find the four-wheeled friend.
A group of British researchers experimenting with a cyborg - a robot controlled with 300 000 neurons from embryonic rat brain.
Scientists explain their experiments desire to deal with Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's.
The neurons of rat brain living in a container with constant temperature and transmit impulses to the robot via Bluetooth. Robot learns to bend around obstacles and getting used to their environment. Once this is achieved, scientists plan to destroy the memory of the robot and, in an attempt to gradually restore the loss of mental abilities, to find the causes and treatments for diseases such as Alzheimer's or Parkinson's.
One of the fundamental issues confronting neurologists today - this is how we link the activity of individual neurons with the complex behaviors that we see in whole organisms,
- Said Dr Ben Whalley, a neuroscientist at University of Reading, conducting research.
