Scientists develop pacemaker for the BRAIN to treat Parkinson's disease- the neurological condition linked to Joe Biden READ MORE: Top neurologist makes bombshell claim that Biden has Parkinson's By Xantha Leatham Deputy Science Editor Published: 20:41, 19 August 2024 | Updated: 20:41, 19 August 2024 e-mail View comments A new implantable device regulated by a person's brain activity could provide ‘round-the-clock’ personalized care for those suffering from the debilitating symptoms of Parkinson's disease. The approach, called adaptive deep brain stimulation, can treat movement problems during the day and insomnia at night, researchers said. Typically, deep brain stimulation (DBS) involves implanting fine wires called electrodes into the brain at specific locations that deliver electrical signals to help mitigate symptoms.
However, conventional techniques provide a constant level of stimulation and can lead to unwanted side effects because the brain does not always need the same strength of treatment. Experts believe the device is an improvement on current techniques that have been used for years to treat Parkinson’s, a neurodegenerative disease experts speculate President Joe Biden is suffering from . Symptoms can include uncontrollable tremors, slow movements and muscle stiffness, but experts say they often only appear when about 80 percent of the nerve cells have already been lost This new device uses data taken directly from a person’s brain and learns to adjust t.
