Brain-computer interface technology opens up “whole new world” of therapies

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, computing, cyborgs, neuroscience

“We are starting to help patients in ways that we did not think were possible,” Thomas Oxley (Mount Sinai Hospital, New York, USA) tells NeuroNews, referring to the potential of brain-computer interface (BCI) technology. Alongside his role as a vascular and interventional neurologist, Oxley is chief executive officer of Synchron, developer of the Stentrode motor neuroprosthesis. The Stentrode is an implantable BCI device that, according to Oxley, is the first of its kind to be in the early feasibility clinical stage in the USA following US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of Synchron’s investigational device exemption (IDE) application last month. Speaking to NeuroNewsfollowing a presentation on the topic at the Society of NeuroInterventional Surgery’s 18thannual meeting (SNIS; 26–29 July 2021, Colorado Springs, USA and virtual), Oxley gives an overview of the COMMAND early feasibility study, anticipates key results, and considers more generally how BCI technology could shape the future of deep brain stimulation.

Experimental drug reverses synaptic loss in mouse models of Alzheimer’s

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, neuroscience

An experimental drug restored brain synapses in two mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease, raising hopes that it could help revive cognitive function in human dementia patients, Yale University researchers report June 1 in the journal Science Translational Medicine.

While much research in Alzheimer’s has centered on reducing levels of beta-amyloid plaque in the brain that is a hallmark of the , recent studies have suggested that immune system response in the brain also plays a role in in patients.

Some scientists now believe that cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s patients results from a loss of synaptic connections between neurons caused by a steady accumulation of beta-amyloid protein in the brain which in turn unleashes a chronic immune system response to the intruder. The end stages of the disease lead to the death of neurons.
