Context:
The Neuroscience Centre at AIIMS, Delhi, has devised a unique treatment method using an advanced neurorobot that can ‘pop’ the brain and provide succour to millions who don’t respond to epilepsy drugs.
Highlights:
- Neuro-robot inserts several electrodes into the brain from where it can begin detecting the triggering area in one’s parts experiencing seizures.
- The electrodes are then stimulated to reproduce the seizure and to reconfirm the point of focus.
- The excision or ablation at that substandard area would give the sensation of popping in the brain so as to inhibit or diminish the seizures.
Epilepsy is a chronic brain disorder that causes seizures, which are episodes of abnormal electrical activity in the brain:
- During a seizure, groups of nerve cells in the brain send signals too fast than usual.
- Cause
- Genetic Factor, Brain Damage
