“What this highlights is that #OCD is a disorder of the brain, just like #epilepsy and #parkinsonsdisease - This isn’t a disorder of will. There’s a pathological signal that we're seeing in the brain.” How did a personalized brain implant curb a woman’s #ocd? Check out Emily Mullin's recent article to learn more from this remarkable story. #NVFP #conciergemedicine https://lnkd.in/gTfn_wsQ

Brain-Controlled Technology: Fact or Fiction? Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) are emerging as a transformative force. From diagnostics to treatment methodologies, BCI technology is attempting to unravel new dimensions of understanding and intervention. Early BCIs enabled individuals with paralysis to communicate using simple binary choices. BCIs have evolved into intricate systems with the ability to interpret complex neural patterns, deciphering the language of the brain. Some examples: 1) Assistive technology and devices for those with motor disabilities 2) Epilepsy detection 3) Patient EEG (brain) monitoring during surgery 4) Sleep disorder diagnosis 5) Traumatic brain injury (TBI) assessment #healthcareinnovation #healthcaredata #braincomputerinterface

Non-invasive brain stimulation techniques are used as therapy for some neurological disorders. We asked Prof. Andrea Antal how such treatment practically looks and what could be the underlying physiological mechanism of the effects of the stimulation.

Exploring the potential of deep brain stimulation for traumatic brain injury recovery resonates with the hope of a significant breakthrough. Recognizing the enduring challenges faced by individuals dealing with moderate to severe TBI and the potential for improved cognition through deep brain stimulation feels like uncovering a pathway towards a promising solution for those contending with the lasting effects of such injuries. #traumaticbraininjury #TBI #braininjuryawareness #brainhealth #deepbrainstimulation #healthnews #healthinnovation https://lnkd.in/guTyyyrh

👩🏻⚕️🏥 Positive momentum for Houston, TX based neuromodulation start-up, Motif Neurotech, as they announce successful first-in-human study toward their new DOT neurostimulation implant. Motif Neurotech's DOT implant is a wireless, battery-free "brain pacemaker" that offers critical minimally invasive neuro-therapy for patients with major depressive disorder including treatment-resistant depression (TRD). Still a ways to go before FDA clearance and commercialization however a very promising next step exploring novel minimally invasive neurostim-based depression solutions. “This tiny device, which cannot be seen once implanted, provides at-home stimulation that engages brain networks known to treat depression. This is the same brain area activated by transcranial magnetic stimulation, which is proven to treat TRD but requires frequent clinic visits and usually only provides temporary relief. This new at-home-based therapy has the potential to revolutionize the treatment options for patients with depression.” Dr. Sameer Sheth, M.D., Ph.D., Motif Neurotech’s Co-Founder & Vice-Chair of Research Baylor College of Medicine Dept of Neurosurgery #neuromodulation #medicalinnovation #clinicalstudies #depressiontreatment The Mullings Group Fierce Biotech
