US lawmaker seeks answers on FDA inspection of Musk's Neuralink

Democratic U.S. Representative Earl Blumenauer has raised concerns about the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) decision to allow Elon Musk's Neuralink to test its brain implant device in humans without prior inspection. The FDA had found issues with record keeping and quality controls for animal experiments conducted by Neuralink. Blumenauer highlighted reports of animal testing violations, rushed schedules, and concerns over data quality. He called on the FDA to justify its decision and address the alleged lapses. The FDA stated that it would respond directly to Blumenauer and that inspections are routinely conducted after approval for human trials. Neuralink has not yet responded to the issue.
