- Very cool info on regeneration of nerve endings. Hopeful for those with brain damage, or other disorders! Really amazing!

mcgroovymama rated 4 months ago- medical research is a wonderful thing..... Dr. Naweed Syed, professor and head of cell biology and anatomy and research director of the Hotchkiss Brain Institute, holds the silicon microchip designed to send out electrical signals to encourage nerve fibers to grow together and connect to one another. "Our scientific team includes experts from three universities - brain surgeons, electrical engineers, neurologists, and neuroscience researchers like me," says Naweed Syed, PhD, professor and head of cell biology & anatomy, and research director, Hotchkiss Brain Institute, University of Calgary Faculty of Medicine. "If we generate electrical signals on a microchip, we can guide nerve cells sitting on that chip to grow and connect along specific pathways. Our dream is to bypass scar tissue and put nerve communication back on track. That would mean a new life for people with brain or spinal cord injuries."

- On the other hand, our bodies appear to want to regenerate the nerves and if given the methylcobalamin or injectable B12 to do it, will. I had huge awful life impacting pain from peripheral neuropathy. It was sort of by accident that I began having a B12 shot a day. Within two months I could see a dramatic reduction in pain. The brain injury from falling (when the peripheral neuropathy was bad I used to fall quite a lot, until I was just so sedentary that I gained weight rather than falling) has not resolved so well. But, I am better.

- one more step into the vast realm of a marraige between prosthetics/neurotechnology. may even be usable to stimulate nerves/muscles of people with neuromuscular disabilities.
