Rudolph Llinas, professor of neuroscience at New York University, and researchers at MIT have developed a wire nanoelectrode just 600 nanometers wide that can send and receive signals to the brain. <br> <br>For more information, please visit: <br><a href="http://cl.exct.net/?ffcb10-fe59127477630d7a7517-fdf11573716d04787c1d7376-ff011674776105 " target="blank">cl.exct.net/?ffcb10-fe59127477630d7a7517-fdf11573716d04787c1d7376-ff011674776105 </a> <br></font></td> </tr> </table> </td></tr> </table> <script type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="<http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show
