Problems solved by technology

[0009] However, maintaining electrical connections through the surgical route used to insert the electrodes may require unnecessary wire connections
Alternatively, when equipping the electrodes with transmitter and receiver units and energy sources in the field, the required implant may be larger than desired

Embodiment Construction

[0024] In general, terms and phrases used herein have their scientific and technically recognized meanings, which can be found through reference texts, journal references and backgrounds known to those skilled in the art. The following definitions are provided to clarify their specific use in the context of the present invention.

[0025] As used herein, the term "electrically interfacing" refers to the ability to monitor and / or generate electrical waveforms in the area beneath the device's electrodes on the surface of the brain.

[0026] Herein, the term "brain tissue" refers to the brain in vivo, in glass or in an in vitro environment. Brains can be from humans or non-humans, such as animals.

[0027] Herein, the term "conformable" refers to a device, material or substrate that has sufficiently low bending stiffness to allow the device, material or substrate to adopt a desired Contour lines in conformal contact. In some embodiments, the desired contour is the contour of t...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a a system and method, in which a distal end of an electrode is implanted in an organ, such as a pituitary gland, for intermittent electrical stimulation thereof and a proximal end of the electrode is provided with a connection plug, a distal end of which can be attached to a bone adjacent the organ, such an anterior wall of the sphenoid sinus / vomer, and a proximal end of which can be reversibly connected electrically to a wire that is connected electrically to a source of electrical stimulation for the organ.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a system and method for providing intermittent electrical stimulation in a mammalian patient, in particular to the pituitary gland, pituitary stalk, basal ganglia and / or hypothalamus of the mammalian brain. Background technique [0002] It is known to implant electrodes coupled to a source of electrical pulses in an organ of a patient to stimulate the organ. For example, electrical stimulation of a patient's brain can alleviate symptoms such as Parkinson's disease, depression, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. [0003] Electrical stimulation for neuromodulation in mammalian patients often involves continuous stimulation patterns 24 hours a day. The pulse generator and its power supply are thus implanted in the body to avoid open connections between the implanted electrodes and external hardware. Such an open connection however poses a great risk of physical infection and limits the patient's freedom of movement. [...
