Rectifying and sorting of regenerating axons by free-standing nanowire patterns: a highway for nerve fibers.
We present an EBL-defined nanowire pattern that can sort axons coming from different directions on a substrate. The pattern defines tracks for left-bound traffic and right-bound traffic, which opens up new possibilities for designing neural networks on a chip.
