The center's mission is to develop innovative neural devices and methods for directing engineered neuroplasticity in the brain and spinal cord, which will improve sensory and motor function for people with spinal cord injury, stroke and other neurological disorders. Engineered neuroplasticity is a new form of rehabilitation.
In situ [a] is a Latin phrase meaning 'in place' or 'on site', derived from in ('in') and situ (ablative of situs, lit. ' place ' ). [ 3 ] The term refers to the examination or occurrence of a process within its original context, without relocation.
Neurotechnology encompasses any method or electronic device which interfaces with the nervous system to monitor or modulate neural activity. [1] [2]Common design goals for neurotechnologies include using neural activity readings to control external devices such as neuroprosthetics, altering neural activity via neuromodulation to repair or normalize function affected by neurological disorders ...
A forest of synthetic pyramidal dendrites generated in silico using Cajal's laws of neuronal branching. In biology and other experimental sciences, an in silico experiment is one performed on a computer or via computer simulation software.
Several results in situ SEM and TEM were demonstrated for thin films by his group [7] including a stage for simultaneous electrical and mechanical testing, although this set-up used external actuation and sensing. [8] A major breakthrough in MEMS-electronic integration was made by Horacio D. Espinosa and his group at Northwestern University.
The function of the GI tract is to process ingested food by mechanical and chemical means, extract nutrients and excrete waste products. The GI tract is composed of the alimentary canal, that runs from the mouth to the anus, as well as the associated glands, chemicals, hormones, and enzymes that assist in digestion.
Migrating motor complex, also known as migrating myoelectric complex, migratory motor complex, migratory myoelectric complex and MMC, is a cyclic, recurring motility pattern that occurs in the stomach and small bowel during fasting; it is interrupted by feeding. [1]
TNO (gastro-) Intestinal Models (“TIM”) is a system of models mimicking the digestive tract. The system was developed by TNO, the Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research.
