The new approach allows scientists to more accurately reproduce the order of muscle contraction, which makes it a valuable research tool. Researchers from the School of Medicine (School of Medicine) and School of Engineering (School of Engineering) at Stanford believe that this method ever be able to find practical application - from the restoration movement paralyzed due to stroke, brain injury or spinal cord injury limbs to fight with spasticity caused by cerebral palsy.
In a study published in the journal Nature Medicine, used a technology known as optogenetika, which is the introduction of a specialized gene derived from seaweed, into the genome of experimental animals. This gene encodes a light-sensitive protein, localized on the surface of nerve cells. Certain wavelengths of light cause the animals, endowed with such proteins, the activity of the nerves, allowing you to change the model, impulses of the will of the experimenters.
