ReNaChip Biomimetic, Biohybrid Brain Stimulation Technology

July 12th, 2010 Editors Neurology, Neurosurgery

An international collaboration of researchers is working on a new deep brain stimulation (DBS) technology that may address some of the shortcomings of current devices. CNET is reporting that the Rehabilitation Nano Chip (ReNaChip) will have monitoring capabilities to help regulate the electric signals applied to the brain, a capability missing in current DBS offerings. Because available DBS therapy devices are continuously applying an electric current, patients invariably receive stimulation at times when it is unnecessary. And it is well known that this overstimulation can lead to long term insensitivity to further stimulation, rendering DBS devices less effective over time.
