Breakthrough: A robot brain implanted in a rodent

With new cutting-edge technology aimed at providing amputees with robotic limbs, a Tel Aviv University researcher has successfully implanted a robotic cerebellum into the skull of a rodent with brain damage, restoring its capacity for movement.

In the future, this robo-cerebellum could lead to electronic implants that replace damaged tissues in the human brain. For the full story about TAU's cyborg cerebellum, see the ABCNews story  Eurekalert!
