The National Research Center "Kurchatov Institute" has developed electrodes to improve neurostimulators used for patients with epilepsy and Alzheimer's disease. This was reported by the press service of the scientific center.
Neuroimplants will restore cognitive and motor functions, as well as alleviate the effects of epileptic seizures. They run on batteries, which are planned to be replaced in the future with biofuel cells that generate energy from glucose in the patient's body.
Researchers tested the electrochemical characteristics of the device on laboratory animals. Electrodes were implanted into the brains of rats and electrochemical measurements were taken. According to scientists, the power obtained is sufficient to power neurostimulating implants.
The contact area of the elements and the current density were increased by using carbon nanotubes. These are cylindrical structures consisting of electrode atoms (diameter from one to several tens of nanometers).
Earlier, www1.ru reported that Vladivostok increased the sensitivity of cyber prostheses.
