Cerebral Neuron
One tiny brain cell is all it takes to restore voluntary movement of paralysed muscles. this has been reported by scientists in the United States.
In experiments involving new treatments for paralysis caused by spinal cord injury or stroke, the monkeys learned within minutes to harness the power of a single neuron to activate muscles immobilized by drugs.
Human brain contains 100 billion neurons. The study suggests an unsuspected degree of flexibility in the kinds of tasks these neurons can perform.
Nearly every neuron they tested could be used to control the type of stimulation.
If a monkey can do it, a human should be able to do it even better.
