Comic book heroes and cartoon characters that can heal themselves are
the stuff of fiction. But, wait, not so fast, says the U.S. Department
of Defense. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, known as
DARPA, has embarked on a program called ElectRx to develop technologies

the peripheral nervous system to promote self-healing, reduce dependence on traditional medications, and provide new treatment options for illnesses.
