While the world grapples with dazzling and disturbing developments in artificial intelligence, scientists are perfecting a form of biological intelligence that may help to cure disease, develop life-saving drugs, and truly understand how humans think and behave. In essence, they are building miniaturized brains from scratch to emulate the central nervous system. Two #Laurier professors are working at the forefront of this emerging technology. Nirosha Murugan and Nicolas Rouleau recently joined Laurier’s Department of Health Sciences, drawn by the university’s interdisciplinary approach to medical advancement. In an effort to consolidate existing knowledge and inspire future research, they published a paper in Nature Reviews Bioengineering highlighting various bioengineered models of the central nervous system and their range of potential applications. Learn more about their research in the link in bio. #InspiredResearch
