Scientists have created a device that paralyzed limbs on invested

Scientists have shown that by moving to the transmission of signals to the brain, the paralyzed part of the body, according to the BBC. Experts have developed a technology, developed with the work around the damage, stop the signals from the brain to the muscles. There is hope for the treatment of people with spinal cord injuries. At the moment, American scientists conducted by the University of Washington, an experiment on monkeys only. The study appears in the journal Nature. SCI injured nerves conduct impulses from the brain to the limbs of man. According to researchers, people with paralysis of the four limbs consciously control the activity of neurons in the motor cortex of the brain that are responsible for the movement of the hands, even after years of paralysis. Scientists a special device that is as brain-machine interface for stimulation of the limbs. Specialists on this device change the signal routing motor area of the cerebral cortex temporarily paralyzed monkeys and sent them directly from the brain to the muscles of the hands. The device is a device about the size of a mobile phone with which to interpret the brain signals and convert them into electrical impulses, which can stimulate the muscles of the limbs. Experts have high hopes for this device, and we hope that many people are able to be paralyzed movement without assistance.
