  • A multidisciplinary team of Stanford inventors is developing a high resolution retinal prosthesis to restore sight in patients with Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) by communicating directly with retinal neurons. The artificial synapse chip is a microfabricated ocular device that directs the growth of neuronal cell processes, enabling connections to a source of excitation. This patented technology can be used to excite neurons by either electrical or chemical (e.g. neurotransmitter) stimulus.
