Scientists in China Just Peeked Into Primate Brains Like Never Before
Imagine a tiny device unlocking the secrets of brain activity—and it’s flexible enough to adapt from rats to monkeys. That’s exactly what researchers at Peking University have achieved with their groundbreaking neural probe, Neuroscroll.
Led by Professor Duan Xiaojie, the team developed a 1,024-channel probe that recorded neuron activity across the entire depth of a macaque monkey’s brain for the first time globally. Talk about next-level brain mapping!
The device isn’t just smart—it’s versatile. With a tunable length from 1cm to 10cm, it works for everything from rodents to primates. Oh, and it’s built to last: two years of stable recordings in rat brains prove its durability.
Why does this matter? Neuroscroll could revolutionize treatments for brain disorders like Parkinson’s and even turbocharge brain-computer interface tech (think: real-life cyborg vibes ). Published in Nature Neuroscience, this innovation puts China at the forefront of neuroengineering.
