Diseases of the brain are on the rise globally as a result of population growth, demographic shifts and increases in lifespan. Between these diseases, epilepsy is one of the most common serious neurological disorders that affects all ages across the globe. Epilepsy is a disease characterized by recurrent seizures associated with abnormal electrical activity in the brain. Around 1% of the population suffers from epilepsy and current treatments have several drawbacks.
Antiseizure medication is the first-line treatment, but one third of patients are not seizure free with currently available drugs. Thanks to the need to find alternative techniques, neuromodulation has emerged as one of the most promising alternatives to treat not just epilepsy but many other neurological disorders.
At 4Brain, we focus our epilepsy research in neuromodulation, researching a wide range of techniques that modulate neural activity both invasively and non-invasively. Our work focuses on understanding how different neuromodulation approaches interact with neural tissue, and we do this by combining our deep expertise in neuroscience along with an engineering-driven design.
