Abstract
We are searching for a way to generate neural function recovery by introducing an implantable microelectronic system. Prototypes of the so-called microelectronic neural-bridging systems have been realized in the form of integrated circuits. The integrated circuits were realized in a standard CMOS process. In a series of animal experiments, we have demonstrated that an interrupted spinal cord could be bridged and neural signals were regenerated. The idea of microelectronics channel bridging and signal regeneration of injured spinal cords was primarily demonstrated.
