Chew 1..10

work opens a new avenue for the design of a neuroprosthesis for bladder control after spinal cord injury. prevented the rat bladder from emptying inappropriately, and bladder contraction was initiated when desired. This improving the resolution. Using this sensory information and by manipulating stimulation characteristics, the authors that accurately encoded bladder filling. The device had multiple microchannels for concurrent recording, greatly . implanted fine-diameter nerves (''rootlets'') into insulated microchannels, recording action potential firing et al Chew nerves, but produce poor signal quality and provide little indication of bladder filling. Through nerve microdissection, record robust neuronal activity from peripheral nerves in vivo. Typically, cuff electrodes are used to record from whole emptying can be artificially stimulated on demand by electrically modulating nerve firing. It is traditionally difficult to accurately record bladder filling from sensory nerves after spinal cord injury in rat. Using this information, bladder . design a ''closed-loop'' electronic device that can et al leading to inappropriate emptying. In a new study, Chew this is cumbersome and leads to urological complications including unsolicited episodes of bladder contraction, Currently, only limited treatment options are available, with most of the patients receiving catheterization. However, Injury to the spinal cord typically results in loss of conscious bladder emptying and the sensation of fullness. Getting to the Root of Bladder Control
