Key points from article :
Synaptically connected brain-silicon Neural Closed-loop Hybrid system, created.
Basically actual brain cells and artificial ones talking over the internet.
Scientists cultivated rat neurons that biologically signal nanoelectronic synapses.
Via internet, these neurons were then transmitted to artificial neurons in a different country.
And then the transmission was reversed.
Once embedded in brain implants, silicon spiking neurons will act as neuroprosthesis.
This is where artificial ones will stimulate dysfunctional native neurons.
Claims to facilitate recovery or even rescuing functional losses.
Research by team of scientists from the U.K., Switzerland, Germany, and Italy.
