Functional electrical stimulation to re-learn how to execute impaired functions, instead of making the consumer dependent on neuroprostheses for the rest of her/his life. Neurons are electrically active cells. In neurons, information is coded and transmitted as a series of electrical impulses called action potentials, which represent a brief change in cell electric potential of approximately 80–90 mV. Nerve signals are frequency modulated; i.e. the number of action potentials that occur in a unit of time is proportional to the intensity of the transmitted signal. Typical action potential frequency is between 4 and 12 Hz. An electrical stimulation can artificially elicit this action
Drug delivery to the brain have shown the effectiveness of this method for getting drugs to specific sites in the brain in animal models. Drug delivery to the brain Drug delivery to the brain is the process of passing therapeutically active molecules across the blood–brain barrier for the purpose of treating brain maladies. This is a complex process that must take into account the complex anatomy of the brain as well as the restrictions imposed by the special junctions of the blood–brain barrier. The blood–brain barrier is formed by special tight junctions between the epithelial cells that surround the brain tissue. All tissue is separated
