Researchers at the DPZ analyse the brain activity of non human primates during the execution of hand grasping movements. The neuronal information could one day be used to control a robotic hand as a prosthesis for paralyzed people. Photo: Sebastian Lehman

Neuroscientists at the German Primate Center can predict grip movements of the hand by measuring brain cell activity

Scientists of the DPZ have developed a portable laboratory for the diagnosis of the ebola-virus. The new method is six to ten times faster than the current one, equally sensitive and will be tested in Africa soon.
