I think you miss some zeroes. If human brain has 86 milliard neurons we can't have 3.01 milliard synapses.

Since this utilises the same mechanism a patch0clamps to record Action Potentials, it has the same drawback oaf accelerating apoptosis.
Perfect for In Vitro studies, no good for implantable BCIs or production scale replacements for ANN silicon.
