A brain-computer interface sometimes called a direct neural interface or a brain-machine interface is a direct communication pathway between a human or animal brain(or brain cell culture) and an external device. In one BCIs, computers either accept commands from the brain or send signals to it but not both. Two-way BCIs will allow brains and external devices to exchange information in both directions but have yet to be successfully implanted in animals or humans.
2. Partially Invasive BCI: Partially invasive BCI devices are implanted inside the skull but rest outside the brain rather than amidst the grey matter. They produce better resolution signals than non-invasive BCIs where the bone tissue of the cranium deflects and deforms signals and have a lower risk of forming scar tissue in the brain than fully-invasive BCIs.
3. Non-Invasive BCI: Magnetoencephalography (MEG) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) have both been used successfully as non-invasive BCIs.
There are three types of BCI
1. Inversive BCI: - Invasive BCI is directly implanted into the grey matter of the brain during neurosurgery. They produce the highest quality signals of BCI devices. Invasive BCIs has targeted repairing damaged sight and providing new functionality to paralysed people.

The goal of the Brain Gate program is to develop a fast and reliable connection between the brain of a severely disabled person and a personal computer .
The ‘Brain Gate’ device can provide paralyzed or motor-impaired patients a mode of communication through the translation of thought into direct computer control
1) Brain-computer interface is a direct communication pathway between the brain and an external device that reads brain activity without muscle movements and translates it into commands for computers and other devices.

While still in development, BrainGate aims to provide a direct brain-computer interface for communication. Clinical trials have shown paralyzed patients able to control devices and perform basic tasks through thought alone.
The document describes the Brain Gate system, a brain-computer interface that allows paralyzed individuals to control external devices with their thoughts. The Brain Gate system works by implanting an array of electrodes on the motor cortex that detects neural signals related to intended movement.

Brain-computer interfaces (BCI) allow direct communication between the brain and external devices. Richard Caton discovered electrical signals on animal brains, pioneering BCI research. BCIs use brain signals like EEG to enable non-muscular communication and control. They support people with conditions like ALS and brain stem stroke by establishing real-time interaction between the user's brain and outside world independently of normal neuromuscular output. A BCI works through the interaction of the user generating intent-encoding brain signals and the BCI system translating those signals into commands that preserve the user's intent.
The document discusses Brain Gate technology, which involves implanting an electrode chip into the brain that can detect electrical signals from neurons. These signals are then sent to a computer and translated into commands via specialized software, allowing paralyzed patients to control external devices with their thoughts. Key points include that Brain Gate was developed in 2008 to provide communication for paralyzed patients, animal research demonstrated brain signal detection in rats and monkeys, and it works by translating detected brain activity into computer outputs.
Brain-computer interfaces allow humans to control devices with their thoughts by detecting electric signals in the brain. Electrodes attached to the scalp can read these signals non-invasively, while implants directly in the brain provide higher resolution signals. The computer translates neural signals into commands to control assistive technologies for disabled people or provide additional inputs for applications like games. While promising, BCI is still an emerging field with challenges regarding signal quality and potential ethical issues.

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapyDr. Sumit KUMAR
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.

Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.

5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.

Are you looking for a long-lasting solution to your missing tooth?
Dental implants are the most common type of method for replacing the missing tooth. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are surgically placed in the jawbone. In layman’s terms, a dental implant is similar to the natural root of the tooth. It offers a stable foundation for the artificial tooth giving it the look, feel, and function similar to the natural tooth.

2. DEFINITION
A Brain Computer
Interface (BCI) is a
collaboration in which
a brain accepts and
controls a mechanical
device as a natural part
of its representation of
the body.
3. GENERAL PRINCIPLE
(a)
(b)
(c)
(a) In healthy subjects, primary motor area sends movement

7. Development of BCI
Early work
Algorithms to reconstruct movements from motor cortex
neurons, which control movement were developed in 1970s.
The first Intra-Cortical Brain-Computer Interface was built by
implanting neurotrophiccone electrodes into monkeys.
After conducting initial studies in rats during the 1990s, researchers
developed Brain Computer Interfaces that decoded brain activity in
monkeys and used the devices to reproduce monkey movements in
robotic arms.

14. DRAWBACKS
EEGs measure tiny voltage potentials. The
signal is weak and prone to interference.
Each neuron is constantly sending and
receiving signals through a complex web
of connections. There are chemical
processes involved as well, which EEGs
can't pick up on.
The equipment heavy(~10 lbs.) & hence
not portable.
15. COMPUTATIONAL CHALLENGES
AND
FUTURE IMPLEMENTATIONS
Minimally invasive surgical methods.
Next generation Neuroprosthesis.
Vision prosthesis.
BCI for totally paralyzed.
Minimal number of calibration trials.
Development of telemetry chip to collect
data without external cables.
