Stanford engineers develop a wireless, fully implantable device to stimulate nerves in mice

Published on Aug 18, 2015


A device the size of a peppercorn can activate neurons of the brain, spinal cord or limbs in mice and is powered wirelessly using the mouse's own body to transfer energy. Developed by a Stanford Bio-X team, the device is the first to deliver optogenetic nerve stimulation in a fully implantable format.
