MIT scientists have taken a big step in the treatment of brain diseases. They have developed tiny magnetic disks that could replace brain implants and revolutionize treatments for diseases like Parkinson’s.
According to the medical and health news service of Tekna Technology Media, deep brain stimulation is currently used to treat some brain diseases such as Parkinson’s. In this method, electrodes are implanted in the brain that help improve brain function by sending electrical signals. But this method requires brain surgery and can cause complications.
New magnetic disks offer a much simpler and less invasive solution. These discs are very small and can be easily injected into the brain. By using an external magnetic field, these disks can be activated and cause an electric current to be generated in the desired area of the brain. With the help of these disks, there is no need for brain surgery. The discs can be placed exactly in the desired area of the brain. Also, the intensity and duration of stimulation can be easily adjusted.
These discs are made of a special material that allows them to generate an electric current in response to a magnetic field. By placing a small magnet near the head, these discs can be activated and stimulate nerve cells. This innovative technology can be used to treat a wide range of neurological diseases, including Parkinson’s, depression and epilepsy. Also, these discs can be used in brain research. The development of magnetic disks is considered a great advance in the field of treating brain diseases. This technology can help improve the quality of life of millions of patients around the world.
