Can a new approach control seizures without surgery?
Can a new approach control seizures without surgery? A new approach using low-intensity focused ultrasound has been demonstrated to quiet a seizure-relevant brain circuit in an animal model without surgery. The technique involves briefly opening the blood-brain barrier, delivering an engineered gene therapy to a specific region, and then flipping an on-demand “dimmer switch” with […]
