An extensive review over current technology, possibilities and ethical implications in the area of neuronal implants.
Topics include:
- different forms of neuronal implants
- problems with current technology
- future possibilities
This webinar is part of a 2-hour monthly series hosted by the Neurotechnology Innovation Network: https://ktn-uk.org/health/neurotechnology/
Each webinar features expert speakers and focusses on a new development in a different technology area.
The third topic in this series is Dementia treatment using a biodesign approach. Dementia can have enormous effects, not only to those suffering but also family members and others
caring for them, but there are currently no effective therapies available. Neurotechnology offers a new way of treating dementia.
There is growing evidence that technologies such as deep brain stimulation and transcranial magnetic stimulation could help treat some of the effects of dementia and brain-computer interfaces are now able to detect the first signs of dementia years before symptoms appear.
In collaboration with UK Dementia Research Institute this webinar explores novel neurotechnologies to treat dementia, discuss barriers to adoption and new opportunities in the field.

Deep Brain Stimulation surgery experience at Apollo Hospital, New DelhiApollo Hospitals
Functional neurosurgery is concerned with the treatment of conditions where central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) function is abnormal although the structure or anatomy is normal. Eighty-seven Deep Brain Stimulation surgeries were done at Indraprastha Apollo Hospital, New Delhi since year 2000. This included 81 cases of Parkinson’s disease (STN stimulation), 4 cases of Essential Tremors (VIM thalamic nucleus stimulation) and three cases of Dystonia (Globus Pallidus stimulation). All the patients showed good response and one patient developed small thalamic hemorrhage which improved over a period of six weeks.
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is the most common progressive neurodegenerative disorder reflecting
the degeneration of upper and lower motor neurons. Motor neurons controls the communication between nervous
system and muscles of the body. ALS results in the loss of voluntary control over muscular activities along with the
inability to breathe and the maximum life expectancy of affected individual will be 3-5 years from the onset of
symptoms. But the lifetime of affected people can be extended by early detection of disease. The usual methods for
diagnosis are Electromyography (EMG), Nerve Conduction Study (NCS), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and
Magneto-encephalography (MEG). But some of these methods may erroneously result in neuropathy or myopathy
instead of ALS and some do not provide any biomarker. EEG is comparatively least expensive method and it
provides biomarker for ALS detection. ALS is always associated with fronto-temporal dementia (FTD). The spectral
analysis of EEG will reveal the structural and functional connectivity alterations of the underlying neural network
that occurs due to FTD and it can generate potential biomarkers for the early detection of ALS. A novel algorithm
has been developed by exploiting the Dual Tree Complex Wavelet Transform (DTCWT) technique and it can
overcome the short comes of existing methods for the analysis and feature extraction of EEG. Deterministic
biomarkers were obtained from spectral analysis of EEG and the proposed algorithm provided 100% accuracy for all
the test datasets.

DUSHYANT VERMA - BRAIN TECHNIQUES FOR MIND MAPPING.pptxdushyantverma25
In this blog, we will explore various brain imaging techniques and shed light on their applications in neuroscience, all with the guidance of renowned neurologist, Dushyant Verma. From peering inside the intricate networks of the brain to deciphering neurological disorders, these imaging techniques have revolutionized our understanding of the mind.
Meeting the mind:
The Neurotechnology revolution
A NEW ERA IN OUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE BRAIN
Throughout human history, the mind has been incomprehensible, other-worldly and beyond reach. The Bible describes all manner of thoughts and emotions but does not once mention the brain. Aristotle thought that the brain was a cooling mechanism for the blood. Centuries later, although the modern fields of biology and medicine have fundamentally transformed our understanding of the body and our ability to heal it, most scientists still think of the brain as the “final frontier” of research.
Yet now, the world had made advances in neuroscience and neurotechnology that, until recently, seemed impossible: brain-controlled prosthetics, neuroimaging technologies that can detect tiny lesions, cochlear implants that restore hearing, and others. Recent advances in science and technology will allow us to address some of mankind's greatest challenges. Imagine a world free of the heartbreak of degenerative brain diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Imagine a world we can reach into with our minds even if our bodies were sick or broken. Imagine a world where the blind can see.
That world is beginning to take shape in Israel today. Israeli companies and academics are playing a leading role in nurturing innovations across the spectrum of neuroscience and neurotechnology. These innovations will transform lives and the world we live in. Here are just some examples:
■ BrainsGate, an early stage company, is developing a novel implantable stimulation device that increases blood flow to the brain, significantly reducing brain damage caused by ischemic stroke
■ BrainStorm uses stem cell transplants to provide treatment for currently- incurable neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson’s, ALS and conditions such as spinal cord injury
This paper elaborates on two exciting opportunities that stem from a technology platform which enables bidirectional communication between the human brain and machines: connecting the brain directly to the outside world (the Brain Machine Interface or BMI) and the development of therapeutic neurostimulation devices.

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection
Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

4. What are neurological conditions?
• Neurological diseases and disorders are those which
affect the brain, spinal cord and nerves throughout
the body. They refer to a malfunction in a portion or
several areas of the nervous system, which cause a
number of difficulties to occur immediately or
progressively over time. Some of these challenges
include problems with mobility, mental tasks (such as
learning and memory), basic functions (such as
swallowing and breathing), or emotional changes in
mood. In the worst cases, a neurological deficit can
lead to a shortened life expectancy.

And that number is expected to escalate as the elderly

14. TMS—TransCranial Magnetic
Stimulation
The next two companies use TMS technology
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a noninvasive
technique used to apply brief magnetic pulses to the brain.
The pulses are administered by passing high currents
through an electromagnetic coil placed adjacent to a
patient's scalp. The pulses induce an electric field in the
underlying brain tissue. When the induced field is above a
certain threshold, and is directed in an appropriate
orientation relative the brain's neuronal pathways,
localized axonal depolarizations are produced, thus
activating the neurons in the relevant brain structure.

15. Neuronix
Neuronix is the only company in the world that has developed a system
that is clinically proven to increase cognitive levels in early and mid-stage
Alzheimer’s patients every day, and, based on the CE mark, is selling
systems and treating patients every day.
Neuronix systems utilize surface TMS in six cognitive areas of the brain,
the left and right parietals, the left and right frontal lobes and Broca’s area
(that integrates speech) and Wernicke’s area (that integrates hearing)
with an innovation that combines the TMS with a relevant “cognitive
event”.
For example, when TMS is applied to Broca’s area for 20 second, the
patient reads for 20 seconds, and repeat; TMS is applied to Wernicke’s
area for 20 seconds and a recording is played for 20 seconds;
In a small but compelling trial at Harvard-Beth Israel, the Alzheimer's
patients increased their cognitive ability by about 1/3, from 20 on the
standard ADAS-COGS scale, they realized an improvement by 5.83 points.

20. Summary
Neuro-cognitive and degenerative (CNS) diseases, with
Alzheimer’s leading, are among the most intractable and costly
and distressing diseases. Without effective therapies with
minimal side effects, these diseases will break the healthcare
systems, patients and caregivers.
Current therapies are inadequate and so many standard
pharmaceutical responses have failed in late stage trials.
Only the most innovative solutions will yield effective therapies.
Israel, with its history & culture of scientific innovative
innovation, Government support & early recognition of the
challenges of CNS, is poised to be a leader in effective CNS
therapies.
How can we make Israel’s leadership known to the world?

Editor's Notes
Although I call this presentation “Brain Changer” to have a catchy title, I will cover neurological diseases in general. The terms will, in general, be used interchangeably. The quote from President Peres is given since he is probably the only President to focus on neurology, to realize and articulate how important
President Peres was not just talking the talk but presciently offered a $1 million prize for practical, human therapeutic breakthroughs.
So about a year later President Obama picks up on the idea Bout a year later, albeit at a 100x size.
Here is a quick definition of the diseases we care covering. Why are they important.
Now we will go onto individual Israeli companies involved in neurological disease. For want to a better system, the ones with systems in the market will be listed first. I am going to go pretty quickly to give a view of the number of companies and their importance. If you miss anything, please email me at howard.david.sterling@gmail.com , tell me you connection and reason for interest and I will email you a copy of the presentation.
Those of you who know Hebrew know Ness means Miracle and that well describes BioNess. BioNess is a hybrid company insofar as the devices were developed and are manufactured here in Israel and the headquarters of the company are in California.
With BioNess, a picture is worth more than any words I can say. So listen for one minute.
I would bet you did not know that here in Nazareth Illit is a leader in the most sophisticated equipment that enable neurosurgeons, the proverbial brain surgeons, to operate safely and successfully in the most difficult brain conditions such as epilepsy and brain tumors.
These types of devices are as sophisticated as it get, patients life and cognitive ability depend on the Alpha Omega devices.
So Broca’s area in the brain is considered to be where speech is integrated, you put your thoughts together your lips and tounge to make words so Neuronix gives 20 seconds of TMS to Broca’s area and the patient reads something for 20 seconds, and repeat. It is based on an old principle that neurons that fire together wire together.
