A recently developed chemical chip has the ability to regulate the delivery of neurotransmitters. The chip could be planted in the body to control the muscles of a specific region, chemically.
The chip is supported by ion transistors that are able to transport, both, negative and positive ions together with bio-molecules. The chip is developed by Doctoral student Klas Tybrandt by combining the both type of transistors into complementary circuits just ans an ordinary silicon resistor. This gives rise to an integrated chip that works with common signaling substances, such as acetylcholine, to send signals to malfunctioning muscle synapses.
