Mice with artificial brain implants still live well
The story of brain control, which is only available in fiction, has now become a reality when scientists implant the brain to control the mouse remotely.
Successfully tested artificial brain implants in mice
The implant is smaller than human hair, can change the nervous system through the use of wireless signals , which allows scientists to study brain stimulation without surgery. .

This is a collaborative research project between Washington Medical University and the University of Illinois in the hope of being able to treat nervous system disorders in humans through special neural network therapy someday.
This battery-powered device will be implanted in the mouse's head and contain drugs that alter brain function .
In the experiment, morphine was injected into the part of the brain that controlled mouse activity and the part of the implant brain ordered the mouse to run in circles.
The study, published in the journal Science, may help develop minor surgical technologies to treat many neurological symptoms such as depression, addiction, and chronic disorders.
