Science Gives Monkey It’s Hand Back

A research team has restored a monkey’s hand function with an artificial neural connection.

Scientists working together from Japanese and American universities may have made a pretty large leap in restoring neural function using a “novel artificial neuron connection” over lesions in the spinal cord of a partially paralyzed monkey. This partially restored its arm-to-brain circuit and allowing greater hand control purely by brainpower.
