a Schematic of neural reflex circuit based BTS. b Schematic diagram of signal transmission in neural circuits. The spacing of the stimulation electrodes is 1 cm. c The rabbit regains its senses via the bionic tactile perceptive system. General anesthesia deprived the senses of rabbit. The system identifies the external stimulus and controls the impulse signals to stimulate the sciatic nerve based on the results, so as to realize the body reflex. d The external stimulus signal acquired by the system: Ecoflex at RT condition, RT Al, Ecoflex at cold condition. Results after three and seven days of cell culture on the device: e number of live/dead cells and f relative cell activity. Data are represented as mean±S.D. Statistical analysis was performed one-way analysis of variance (n=4 × 104 cells/mL examined over 3 independent experiments, *P < 0.05). g Results of paraffin sections for H&E staining (left) and frozen sections for immunohistochemistry (right). A fibrous capsule of comparable width is formed around both the BTS and silicone (control) samples at 2 weeks.
