It's been used in parkinson's for a while now, mnd is quite a lot more complex, but hopefully one day.

AT last some good news!!! It is so sad that this family had to go trough this. I hope they can help many others soon.

As an epileptic this is both thrilling and scary, I don't think I'm ready for a chip in my brain! Really happy for them though!!! ❤❤❤

God bless you all Scientists,doctors and engineers. Much more to come keep it up 😢😢❤

Bravo engineers and doctors!🎉

The poor kid, more than 100 seizures a day! I'm glad that the device helped. Elon Musk's Neuralink it also working on something like this, which is supposed to be more advanced. I hope that these devices could one day make seizures a thing of the past.

Amazing stuff! Well done all 👏

Incredible work by these professionals.

I'm reminded of Michael Crichton's 1972 "The Terminal Man"

Just another of the gazillion reasons why I love SCIENCE!! Thank you for this wonderful device!!!

How can his skull and brain grow to adult size if the implants are permanently fixed? Won't His brain and skull outgrow the device?

@KTe..17

The human brain reaches adult size around age 5. The teen and young adult years is when the pre frontal cortex starts major development. The development that happens at his age isn’t as much physical growth as it is with pruning connections, chemical changes, neuron communication etc

Neurostimulation or brain simulating devices are not new. They had been used for different dyskinetic disorders since many years ago. Deep brain stimulation for parkinson dx is another example.

I recall a fictional horror novel & movie about something similar: The Terminal Man (1972 & 74) by Michael Crichton. The protagonist becomes addicted to his brain stimulation and trips over into constant stimulation leading to nasty consequences.

Total SouthPark Cartman anti-swearing chip vibe. The question is, does it have a remote controll ?

Who came up with this great device?

WHAT IS THE NAME OF DEVICE 😊

@bc7444

4 күн бұрын

Based on the model shown in the thumbnail image, it seems like it is probably a picostim by Bioinduction. It isn't guaranteed that the model shown is the same as the type that was installed, but it would be weird for the BBC to show a different neurostimulator than what was actually used.

@messrsandersonco5985

My guess would be it's called a 'DBS device'. I'm sure that, at this stage, the name will be based on function, not least of all because it's a prototype.

I used to run a medical marijuana dispensary in Washington State we had many parents come in with their children that had bad epilepsy and seizures we would give them high THC Rick Simpson oils which was a good natural remedy this is how far the government will go to have you not used actual functioning holistic medicine

Any way to conclusively prove that the reduction in seizure is due to the device and not due to the surgeon cutting open his brain and unintentionally treating the seizure with the cut/introducing foreign object in the brain?

Yes because they had to wait a month before the device was switched on and until then he was still fitting. Plus epilepsy is the synaptic function miss firing and can happen anywhere in the brain.
