Abstract

See full text

Techniques for infusing drugs into the brain to treat neurodegenerative disorders by system of an implantable pump and catheter. The drugs are capable of altering the level of excitation of neruons in the brain. A sensor is used to detect an attribute of the nervous system which reflects the hyperexcitation of the nerve cells projecting onto the degenerating nerve cells. A microprocessor algorithm analyzes the output from the sensor in order to regulate the amount of drug delivered to the brain.
