Reposted by Andrew ReidTK (Takashi DY) Kozai @bioniclab.bsky.social · 28/06/2026⚡ A brain implant delivers a microsecond pulse to cortex, and the textbook answer is that the neuron fires. The biology turns out to be far richer, which matters for every patient feeling through a prosthetic hand, suppressing a seizure, or treating depression by stimulation. 1194
