Scientists from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) implanted a new type of
Using a neuroimplant, researchersblocked drug-induced behavior in a rodent. However, scientists say that the technology behind the chip is useful for other purposes - it can be used in any type of implants and medical devices.
The development itself is a tiny brainthe implant is made of biocompatible materials and is equipped with an antenna to collect electromagnetic radiation, which is converted into electrical energy. This way, the implant battery can be charged remotely wirelessly without disturbing the experimental animal or disrupting the continuity of observations.
The new technology will also improve the quality of animal research. Remote control makes it possible not to restrict their movements.
