Abstract
Ends of a pair of electrodes are positioned near the nerve cells to be connected while the portion under operation of a living body is being observed with a TV monitor. By applying a DC micro-current or high voltage pulse current to the living body via the pair of electrodes, the nerve cells are connected. The connection is confirmed by applying electric stimulation to the living body between a stimulating electrode and a monitor electrode, and monitoring its reaction on an oscilloscope. Each of the pair of electrodes has a needle-like electrode member which is shielded by an insulating cover member such that only a part thereof is exposed, and that the exposed parts of the electrodes are opposed to each other.
