Mimicking learning and memory functions of the brain has been the main focus in neuromorphic electronics [1]. However, emulating the complex biological sensory and motor nervous systems that operate sequential functions related to stimuli-sensing, signal processing, and motor response is also a challenging issue to realize bio-inspired soft robotics and electronics. Here, we introduce organic artificial nerves for sensory and motor nervous systems of bio-inspired electronics [2,3]. The sensory organs detect stimuli and fire artificial action potentials which are transmitted to organic nerves. Then, the organic nerves generate postsynaptic signals which will stimulate motor nerves and muscles. Our organic artificial nerves for sensory and motor nervous systems can be used for human-like soft robots and prosthetics which help people with neurological disabilities. [1] T.-W.
