Deans' stroke musings: First artificial nerve cell proves prosthetic brains are possible

Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

First artificial nerve cell proves prosthetic brains are possible

Hey, with the Bio-Bolt and this lets create Frankensteins' monster, then we could test it out on stroke patients. From 2009, so I wonder if we already have prosthetic brains out there.

artificial nerve cell

A team of Swedish scientists from the Karolinska Institutet and Linköping University are developing the ever first artificial nerve cell that will communicate with the nerve cells in the body through neurotransmitters. Replacing electrical neural stimulation (now used) and its undesired results, with the process of neurotransmitter chemicals, administered through a new type of delivery electrode, this new system device utilizes the neurotransmitters to target specific neural pathways unlike the electronic stimulation that affects the different types of nerve cells too. With the potential to make a breakthrough in the brain and electronics interface, this juvenile technology (in the making) could be a great help for people suffering with diseases like schizophrenia, and in order to create bionic brain or prosthetic brains to help stroke victims.
