Nanotech to fix brains…
“Rodents blinded by brain damage had their vision partially restored within weeks after being treated with nanotechnology developed by bioengineers and neuroscientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
The findings provide evidence that similar strategies might someday work in humans.
“If we can reconnect parts of the brain that were disconnected by stroke, then we may be able to restore speech to an individual who is able to understand what is said but has lost the ability to speak,” study co-author Rutledge G. Ellis-Behnke, research scientist in MIT’s department of brain and cognitive sciences, said in a prepared statement.”
