Medical Connections (Literally): Scientists Connect Neurons in the Lab for the First Time
Scientists at McGill University in Canada had a major breakthrough in neurological sciences. Although this research is still in it's initial phases, the potential that it has may be life changing for individuals that have suffered nervous system injuries.
Assignment:
- Click on the link below to read the article about this discovery. Summarize your findings in your module guide. Include: 1) How scientists were able to perform this task in the lab (equipment, technique, etc) 2) How scientists were able to test the final results of their work (this would be a good time to make a connection to what we have been learning with action potential and nervous impulses) and 3) What this research could potentially do for individuals that have suffered neurological damages.
