Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden and the University of Auckland in New Zealand have developed a groundbreaking bioelectric implant that restores movement in rats after injuries to the spinal cord. This breakthrough offers new hope for an effective treatment for humans suffering from loss of sensation and function due to spinal cord injury.

In order to understand the structure and functioning of the brain, neuroscientists need to study the complex, three-dimensional pathways and connections of nerve fibers. The intersection of multiple nerve fibers poses a particular challenge for neuroimaging.

Matthew Dean, Sales Engineer and Head of the Medical Business Unit at maxon, explores how Newrotex and maxon are developing an innovative approach to overcome the common challenges of traditional nerve repair.
