The artificial neuron can translate the chemical signals into electrical impulses and thus communicate with other human nerve cells.
The artificial neurons do not contain any living parts and is just the size of a finger tip.
Scientists are further working to shrink the gear so as to get them implanted into humans.
Now, at the synapse, the electrical signal again gets converted and releases the chemical signals.
These chemical signals relay the required signal to the next nerve cell via diffusion.
This is how theneurons communicatewith each other.
The findings of lab trials have been published in the journalBiosensors and Bioelectronics.
