The new research will pave the way for developing implants for other brain-based conditions.
What the researchers at NYU have managed is to use use the signal to anticipate pain and then use another system to quell it. This might seem just logical but gets a lot more difficult when you try to get it toTo anticipate pain, the team implanted electrodes in the anterior cingulate cortex region of the brain that is known to process pain signals. To dampen the pain, they installed an optical fiber cable in the prelimbic prefrontal cortex region.
Since the device is only activated in the presence of pain, it lessens the risk of overuse and any potential for tolerance to develop," said associate professor Jing Wang, the vice-chair for clinical and translational research at NYU and one of the authors of the study. He added,"Unlike, opioids, the implant offers no reward beyond pain relief, minimizing the risk of addiction".
