NEURAL TUBE FOR RECOVERING FUNCTION OF INJURED NERVE AND NEURON SIGNAL DETECTING SYSTEM USING THE SAME

摘要

PURPOSE: A neural tube and a neuron signal detecting system using the same are provided to perform a support function and a nerve electrode function. CONSTITUTION: A neural tube comprises a supporter(110) connected to the end of damaged nerve, a hollow channel(120) which is formed inside the body of the supporter, an electrode layer formed along the inner wall of the channel, and an outer electrode(130) which is electrically connected to the electrode layer. Nerve cells grow along the channel in the end of the damaged nerve. The nerve cell grown along the channel is electrically connected to the electrode layer. In the supporter, a plurality of channels is formed.
