Researchers have used a neural implant to recapture a
lost decision-making process in monkeys-demonstrating that a neural prosthetic
can recover cognitive function in a primate brain. The results suggest that
neural implants could one day be used to recover specific brain functions in
patients with brain injuries or localized brain disease.
