1) Primary DBS therapy involves using an implantable device that sends electrical current directly into specific areas of the brain.
2) Adjunctive DBSD treatment occurs when electrodes are placed on top of existing spinal implants and wires lead from these devices into critical regions of the cerebral cortex where they send or block electric impulses according to need. Both methods have their advantages and disadvantages, but overall, there appears to be evidence that primary DBSD is more effective than adjunctive treatments for treating certain conditions such as OCD and major depressive episodes. DBS has been performed on more than 160,000 individuals worldwide for a range of neurological and non-neurological problems, and the number of patients is rising every year.
1) Diagnosis - TMS, most often using single or paired magnetic pulses, may be used therapeutically to assess the activity and functionality of certain brain circuits in people. The most common use is to measure the relationship between the motor cortex of the central peripheral nervous nervous system to assess injury from previous or ongoing neurologic trauma.
2) Treatment - Repetitive high-frequency TMS (rTMS), notably in the domains of neurology and mental health, has shown diagnostic and therapeutic potential with the central nervous system in several illness conditions.
There are many new developments in neurotechnology that are changing the way we think about how the brain works. One of the most recent and exciting breakthroughs is what's called the "brain-computer interface" or BCI. This technology allows people with disabilities to control sophisticated computer systems by directly interfacing their brains with digital devices. BCI has already been used to help those who have paralysis control speech recognition software, prosthetic arms, and other types of neurology devices. It has even been tested on patients who have lost complete use of their limbs due to a stroke or other health issue. The potential applications for BCI go far beyond disability rehabilitation; it could be used to improve cognitive function in aging adults, enhance learning abilities in children, and much more. Brain-computer interface (BCI) sales are predicted to increase globally, from $1.9 billion in 2021 to $3.3 billion in 2026.
