[edit] This

This article was created May, 2007 by Parveen Memarzadeh as part of a Directed Reading Course for the Bachelor of Science degree in Biomedical Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology. The project supervisor was Prof. Steve M. Potter http://neuro.gatech.edu . This article is accompanied by a companion article, Chronic Electrode Implants http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronic_Electrode_Implants , by another Biomedical Engineering senior, Stephen Ryan.

[edit] Merger

Hi, this article is pretty much the same scope and content as nerve regeneration. They are pretty much the same topic, right? I think they should be merged then a redirect Neuroregeneration->Nerve regeneration. Right now we've got a lot of advanced information in Neuroregeneration which isnt in Nerve regeneration, so we should try and salvage that. Snellios (talk) 10:05, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Well I've merged all the information in from neurodegeneration. The 'further reading' section still needs to be included, it's listed below. If anyone gets round to it before me, feel free. This article needs a def cleanup and rewrite too.
