Growing Focus on Neurological Biomarker Research
Biomarkers are disease-specific molecular indicators. In early days,the neurological disease biomarkers were not that accessible; however, the advancements in the technology have enabled the measurement of specific biomarkers for tracking the health of the brain. This helps in the early detection of a disease and less invasive diagnostics, and enables faster drug development.
Brain Pacemaker Implanted to Treat Alzheimer’s
A brain pacemaker is a medical device implanted into the brain to stimulate the nervous tissues with electric signals. These pacemakers are being used widely to provide treatment to the patients having neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, and others. Other than giving stimulation to the brain, pacemakers also play an essential role in stimulating the spinal cord. Brain pacemakers have been found to offer a safe and effective procedure that provides symptomatic relief to patients.
