Neuralink announced that it succeeded in inserting an implant into a human's brain, without damaging a protective structure, called the dura mother. The startup robot inserted its microwires directly through this membrane. The name "hard mother" probably doesn't tell you anything, and yet you have it in your
Neuralink Achieves Surgical Milestone: First Successful Transdural Brain Implant in Clinical Trials
Reading Time: 3 minutesKey Takeaways: Neuralink revealed that it successfully performed its first clinical transdural (through-the-dura) implantation in May 2026. Instead of surgically cutting open the tough, protective outer membrane of the brain, the system inserts ultra-thin electrode threads straight through the intact dura. The upgraded R1 robot utilizes near infrared ICG angiography and OCT laser tracking to see through the dura. User Sco…
Elon Musk's Brain-chip Startup Aims for Scalability with New Transdural Procedure
Elon Musk’s brain-computer interface (BCI) startup Neuralink announced the company has successfully performed its first transdural brain implant surgery, which promises to increase scalability while significantly reducing surgical trauma. The News In a new video (seen below), Neuralink reveals it has implanted electrode threads through the dura—the brain’s thick, leather-like membrane that sits just below the skull—without cutting or removing it…
