Fig. 1: Nerve-direct neuromorphic ES for inflammation inhibition in tendon injury.

From: Neuromorphic electro-stimulation based on atomically thin semiconductor for damage-free inflammation inhibition

Fig. 1

Schematic of the proposed neuromorphic ES solution, where a flexible electrode is wrapped around sympathetic chain innervating the tendon segment to provide direct stimulation, as well as using 2D FGM IDC neuromorphic stimulator to fire bionic spikes. The combination of sympathetic-direct and bionic spikes promotes the release of NE, which inhibits the inflammatory cytokines associated with tendon injury while causing minimal nerve damage. NE: noradrenaline.
