A group of American scientists has taken an important step towards making life easier for paralyzed people. After a fatal spinal injury, electrodes were inserted into a certain area of \u200b\u200bthe brain, as a result of which some tactile sensations were returned..

The electrodes stimulated the patient's somatosensory area, which in the human body is responsible for orientation in space, the sensation of temperature changes, and pain sensations.. After the operation, the patient began to feel touch to the limbs and their mechanical flexion..

Scientists warn that their research will not lead to a miracle and the patient will not get out of bed, but now he will be able to control his body.

The developed electrodes differ in that their effectiveness does not depend on the strength of the electrical impulse, so the patient does not experience discomfort.. In the future, this technique can be applied for innovative development of special prostheses that will gain “sensitivity”. Two years ago, research in this direction began in the United States, and the first positive results have already been obtained..
