| Abstract(in English) | A hybrid retinal implant is a visual prosthesis to reconstruct visual sensation in the blind. It will consist of an outer apparatus and an implanted MEMS(micro-electro mechanical systems). In order to connect the MEMS with the CNS(central nervous systems), several neurons will be cultured on the top of the MEMS. Then, their axons will be guided with the peripheral nerve fiber. After the axons reach towards the CNS, they will make the proper synaptic connection with the CNS neurons. Therefore, the adequate electrical stimulation will lead the neural cells to produce the action potential so that functional connection will be realized. |
