  Electrochemical activation and inhibition of neuromuscular systems through modulation of ion concentrations with ion-selective membranes

  An electrochemical method that uses ion-selective membranes to electrically modulate ion concentrations in situ along a sciatic nerve in vitro allows for on-demand reversible inhibition of signal propagation as well as up to 40% reduction of the electrical threshold for stimulation. The method may be applicable in implantable neuroprosthetic devices.
