An electronic micropump to deliver treatments deep within the brain
From: ECN - 04/16/2015

Many potentially efficient drugs have been created to treat neurological
disorders, but they cannot be used in practice. Typically, for a condition
such as epilepsy, it is essential to act at exactly the right time and place
in the brain. For this reason, the team of researchers led by Christophe
Bernard at Inserm Unit 1106, "Institute of Systems Neuroscience" (INS), with
the help of scientists at the École des Mines de Saint-Étienne and Linköping
University (Sweden) have developed an organic electronic micropump which,
when combined with an anticonvulsant drug, enables localised inhibition of
epileptic seizure in brain tissue in vitro.
