Researchers have developed a myoneural actuator (MNA) designed to improve the performance of implantable biohybrid systems. By replacing a muscle’s native motor nerve with a sensory nerve, the scientists successfully redirected control from the central nervous system to a computer-controlled interface. This surgical innovation creates a more uniform axonal distribution, which enhances fatigue resistance by 260% compared to natural muscle. The system also utilizes a reversible nerve block to prevent unwanted electrical signals from reaching the brain during operation. Practical tests in rodent…
