The robot is more skilled than any human surgeon, MacDougall said, reliably and efficiently “sewing” threadlike electrodes, each thinner than a human hair, throughout a targeted region of the brain.

In 10 to 14 days, you’ll see white threadlike roots emerging.

Myelin is the protective sheath covering each nerve cell's axon -- the threadlike portion of a cell that transmits electrical signals between cells.

Scientists completed the genetic sequences of other chromosomes, the threadlike structures that hold an organism’s DNA.
