Title:
CRANIAL NERVE MODELING DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2023/146249
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A cranial nerve modeling device for mimicking a brain micro-environment, according to one embodiment, is disclosed. The cranial nerve modeling device comprises: a microfluidic chip including a plurality of cell culture channels, and electrodes for applying electrical stimulation signals to at least one of the cell culture channels or measuring activation signals of nerve cells cultured in the cell culture channels; a control unit for determining the electrical stimulation signals to be provided through the electrodes, and processing the measured activation signals; and a micro-pump for providing a culture medium to the cell culture channels, wherein the cell culture channels can include a first cerebrovascular barrier mimicking channel, a neuroglial cell channel, a first nerve cell channel, an axon guidance channel, a second nerve cell channel and a second cerebrovascular barrier-mimicking channel.
