New technology developed at University College Cork could “significantly reduce” seizures for people with drug-resistant epilepsy, researchers have claimed.
Tyndall National Institute, the deep-tech research centre based in UCC, on Monday announced a breakthrough in the development of a new type of neurostimulator, a device similar to a pacemaker that can be implanted in the brain.
Typically made with metal wires, the device stimulates the vagus nerve to reduce or stop epileptic seizures.
