Robot with rat brain, helps scientists study the memory
used cars by hand: the site known newspaper will help you find the four-wheeled friend.
A group of British researchers experimenting with a cyborg - a robot controlled by 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 are living in a container with constant temperature and transmit impulses to the robot via Bluetooth. The robot learns to bend around obstacles and getting used to his surroundings. Once this is achieved, the scientists plan to destroy the memory of the robot and, in an attempt to gradually restore the loss of mental abilities, to find 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.
