Neural Implants Show Promise in Reducing Parkinson's Symptoms

Aug 19, 2024, 03:02 PM

Recent advancements in neural implants and brain stimulation techniques show promise in alleviating symptoms of Parkinson's disease. These implants work by reading brain activity and providing personalized neuromodulation, which can improve movement and sleep in patients. A pilot trial has indicated the effectiveness of an intelligent pacemaker offering deep brain stimulation. This development is part of broader research into brain wiring, which could also aid in understanding and treating cognitive dysfunctions caused by neurological disorders like strokes.
