Neurochip technology developed by Canadian team
From: Medical Design Technology - 08/10/2010

The University of Calgary, Faculty of Medicine scientists who proved it is
possible to cultivate a network of brain cells that reconnect on a silicon
chip or the brain on a microchip have been involved in the development of new
technology that monitors brain cell activity at a resolution never achieved
before.  

Developed with the National Research Council Canada (NRC), the new silicon
chips are also simpler to use, which will help future understanding of how
brain cells work under normal conditions and permit drug discoveries for a
variety of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
