Artificial and Generic Creation of Nerve Impulses with Microcontrollers

The VANIG System provides artificial Creation of Nerve Impulses and takes on the Role of the real Nervous System of the Body for some parts of the Body which are already not able to take that Role.

The artificial Nerve Impulses are created and transmitted with several Microcontrollers that have a size at Micro or Nano Level what means that they are almost not visible.

The Microcontrollers will be integrated just near that real parts of the Body which took that Role before and can make it no longer.

The decisive part of the System is to establish a generical Interface for the artificial electrical Nerve Impulses with the real Nerve System of the Body.

The VANIG System shall be able to provide an artificial Nerve System by simulation the procedure of the real Body by transmitting electrical and chemical Impulses at various parts of the Body.

The Electricity supply for the Microcontrollers shall be made by using the movement of the Body.

The VANIG System provides a Control Software that uses Artificial Intelligence Algorithms that can iteratively adapt to the specific needs of a specific Body.

The communication between the VANIG System and the real Body is made with a generical Interface and provides various electrical Signals of the real Body.

The places where neurons connect and communicate with each other are called synapses. Each neuron has anywhere between a few to hundreds of thousands of synaptic connections, and these connections can be with itself, neighboring neurons, or neurons in other regions.

A synapse is made up of a presynaptic and postsynaptic part.

The presynaptic partis at the interface of an axon and is the place where the electrical signal (the action potential) is converted into a chemical signal (neurotransmitter release). 

The postsynaptic part membrane is less than 50 nanometers away and contains specialized receptors. The neurotransmitter rapidly (in microseconds) diffuses across the synaptic cleft and binds to specific receptors. 

The type of neurotransmitter released from the presynaptic part and the specific receptors present on the corresponding postsynaptic part is critical in determining the quality and intensity of information transmitted by neurons. The postsynaptic neuron integrates all the signals it receives to determine what it does next, for example, to fire an action potential of its own or not.
