They permanently bond to neurotransmitters in the brain, interfering with their ability to function and causing irreversible damage.

because electroceutical approaches would use implantable devices to directly modulate activity in specific brain circuits.

#Brain Friendly Interface Could Change the Way People with Spinal cord Injuries Lead Their Lives Recent research published in the journal Microsystems
has developed a brain-friendly extracellular matrix environment of neuronal cells that contain very little foreign material.
These by design electrodes are shielded by a covering that the brain recognizes as part of its own composition.
the brain is recognized now to have its own immune system that protects it against foreign invaders. his is not by any means the device that youe going to implant into a patient,
or synthetic materials. mplantable neural prosthetic devices in the brain have been around for almost two decades,
but most are believed to eventually fail because of a mismatch between the soft brain tissue and the rigid devices.
and Mark Allen of the University of Pennsylvania, found that the extracellular matrix derived electrodes adapted to the mechanical properties of brain tissue
and were capable of acquiring neural recordings from the brain cortex. eural interface technology is literally mind boggling,
this same methodology could then be applied in getting these extracellular matrix derived electrodes to be the next wave of brain implants,
The ECM-based design minimized the introduction of nonnatural products into the brain. Further, it rendered the implants sufficiently rigid for penetration into the target brain region
and allowed them subsequently to soften to match the elastic modulus of brain tissue upon exposure to physiological conditions,
thereby reducing inflammatory strain fields in the tissue. Preliminary studies suggested that ECM-NES produce a reduced inflammatory response compared with inorganic rigid and flexible approaches.
In vivo intracortical recordings from the rat motor cortex illustrate one mode of use for these ECM-NES. mall-Molecule-Driven Direct Reprogramming of Mouse Fibroblasts into Functional Neuronsby Xiang Li, Xiaohan Zuo
This method was found to deliver medicine to the brain with few side effects. About one out of every hundred Norwegians develop schizophrenia or autism in the course of their lifetime.
who have developed a new device designed to improve medicine delivery to the brain via the nose.
Oxytocin is produced in the hypothalamus, which is the brain coordinating centre for the hormone system.
Medicine through the nosebecause of oxytocin role in social behaviour, researchers have explored the possibility of administering the hormone for the treatment of mental illness.
it has trouble crossing the barrier between the brain and circulating blood. Thus, researchers have administered oxytocin to patients through the nose as this route offers a direct pathway to the brain that bypasses this barrier.
However, researchers have a poor understanding of how oxytocin reaches and affects the brain. The most effective dose for treatment has received also little research attention.
Professor Ole A. Andreassen and his research team have collaborated with Optinose on a project that evaluated two different doses of oxytocin
affects the function of the brain. As no effect was observed after intravenous treatment, this indicates that intranasally administered oxytocin travels directly to the brain,
as we have believed long. The fact that we have shown the efficacy of a low dose of oxytocin on social perception is even more important.
Breathing helpsoptinose uses a new technology to distribute medicine to the brain, making use of the user breath to propel medicine deep into the nasal cavity.
it enables brain delivery along nerve pathways from the uppermost part of the nasal cavity. Conventional nasal spray devices are suited not to consistently deliver medicine high up enough into the nose.
facilitating nose-to-brain medicine delivery. As the user exhales into the device, this closes the soft palate and prevents the medicine from being lost down the throat.

These findings provide support for a direct nose-to-brain effect independent of blood absorption, of low-dose OT delivered from a Breath Powered device. ow-dose oxytocin delivered intranasally with Breath Powered device affects social-cognitive behavior:
