AN2054: Neurochip: using configurable microelectronics to study neurobiology and animal behavior

Biologicial neural networks form intricate configurations that sense and modulate an organism’s thought and behavior. To understand these networks, neurobiologists, lots of times, use non-portable instrumentation. Consequently, the animals are constrained and not behaving as they normally would. A wealth of learning can be obtained by implanting miniaturized instrumentation into or onto animals and then studying their natural neurobiological behavior (i.e., collect neuromuscular data while observing behavior and even provide external stimuli).
