Abstract:
This document provides methods and materials involved in detecting and delivering neurochemical signals, electrophysiological signals, ions, or combinations thereof within a mammal. For example, systems that can include one or more implantable devices containing probes configured to detect neurochemical signals (e.g., neurotransmitter concentrations), electrical signals, ions, or combinations thereof and one or more implantable devices containing electrodes and/or microfluidic delivery components configured to deliver neurochemical signals (e.g., neurotransmitters), electrical signals, ions, or combinations thereof to one or more locations within a mammal are provided.

Claim (Index 1):
A system for detecting signals within the brain of a mammal and delivering signals to nerve tissue downstream of a damaged or severed nerve, wherein said system comprises:\n (a) a first implantable device comprising one or more probes configured to detect neurochemical and electrical signals within a first region of said brain, (b) a second implantable device comprising one or more electrodes configured to deliver electrical signals to said nerve tissue, and (c) a third implantable device comprising one or more electrodes configured to deliver electrical signals to a second region of said brain or one or more microfluidic delivery components configured to deliver neurochemical signals to said second region of said brain, wherein said first implantable device is configured to send information about detected neurochemical and electrical signals directly or indirectly to said second implantable device, wherein said second implantable device is configured to deliver electrical signals and neurochemical signals to said nerve tissue based on said information, and wherein said third implantable device is configured to deliver electrical signals or neurochemical signals to said second region of said brain while or after said second implantable device is delivering electrical signals and neurochemical signals to said nerve tissue.
