Biocompatible microparticles remotely stimulate neural impulses in mice as safer alternative to brain electrodes. Researchers from Skoltech—a VEB.RF group institution—and their colleagues at the Institute of Cytology and Genetics of SB RAS and other medical science centers in Russia have managed to modulate the breathing and heart rate of a mouse by wirelessly stimulating its vagus nerve.

Trechos de apoio da pauta: Researchers from Skoltech—a VEB.RF group institution—and their colleagues at the Institute of Cytology and Genetics of SB RAS and other medical science centers in Russia have managed to modulate the breathing and heart rate of a mouse by wirelessly stimulating its vagus nerve. The electrical stimulation was delivered by nontoxic magnetic microparticles, which acted as tiny electrodes in the nerve tissue.
