Feasibility Study of the BrainGate Neural Interface System

January 13, 2023Interim Safety Profile From the Feasibility Study of the BrainGate Neural Interface SystemBrain computer interfaces (BCIs) are being developed to restore mobility, communication, and functional independence to people with paralysis. Though supported by decades of preclinical data, the safety of chronically implanted microelectrode array BCIs in humans is unknown. We report safety results from the prospective, open-label, non-randomized BrainGate feasibility study (NCT00912041), the largest and longest-running clinical trial of an implanted BCI. Results: From 2004 – 2021, fourteen adults enrolled in the BrainGate trial had devices surgically implanted. The average duration of device implantation was 872 days, yielding 12,203 days of safety experience. There were 68 device-related adverse events, including 6 device-related serious adverse events. The most common device-related adverse event was skin irritation around the percutaneous pedestal. There were no safety events that required device explantation, no unanticipated adverse device events, no intracranial infections, and no participant deaths or adverse events resulting in permanently increased disability related to the investigational device. Discussion: The BrainGate Neural Interface system has a safety record comparable to other chronically implanted medical devices. Given rapid recent advances in this technology and continued performance gains, these data suggest a favorable risk/benefit ratio in appropriately selected individuals to support ongoing research and development.

Brain stimulation boosts hearing in rats with ear implants

December 21, 2022Study identifies neurons that can improve sound perception, which could explain the variation in performance in people with cochlear devices. Stimulating neurons that are linked to alertness helps rats with cochlear implants learn to quickly recognize tunes, researchers have found. The results suggest that activity in a brain region called the locus coeruleus (LC) improves hearing perception in deaf rodents. Researchers say the insights are important for understanding how the brain processes sound, but caution that the approach is a long way from helping people. Cochlear implants use electrodes in the inner-ear region called the cochlea, which is damaged in people who have severe or total hearing loss. The device converts acoustic sounds into electrical signals that stimulate the auditory nerve, and the brain learns to process these signals to make sense of the auditory world. Some people with cochlear implants learn to recognize speech within hours of the device being implanted, whereas others can take months or years. “This problem has been around since the dawn of cochlear implants, and it shows no signs of being resolved” (Gerald Loeb, USCLA). Researchers caution that stimulating the LC in humans could be dangerous. The region sends signals to many brain regions, and regulates the fight-or-flight response. Stimulating the LC in people “would raise blood pressure and heart rate, and other autonomic responses”, says Graeme Clark, an otolaryngologist in the Graeme Clark Institute at the University of Melbourne, Australia, who developed the first multi-channel cochlear implant in the 1970s. “We would have to do a series of experiments to prove that it is something worth doing.” Author(s) Source Naddaf M nature, 21 Dec 2022doi: https://doi.org/10.1038/d41586-022-04553-z This is a post of a scientific or business information.

Locus coeruleus activity improves cochlear implant performance

December 21, 2022Cochlear implants (CIs) are neuroprosthetic devices that can provide hearing to deaf people. Despite the benefits offered by CIs, the time taken for hearing to be restored and perceptual accuracy after long-term CI use remain highly variable. CI use is believed to require neuroplasticity in the central auditory system, and differential engagement of neuroplastic mechanisms might contribute to the variability in outcomes. Despite extensive studies on how CIs activate the auditory system, the understanding of CI-related neuroplasticity remains limited. One potent factor enabling plasticity is the neuromodulator noradrenaline from the brainstem locus coeruleus (LC). Here we examine behavioural responses and neural activity in LC and auditory cortex of deafened rats fitted with multi-channel CIs. Adequate engagement of central neuromodulatory systems is thus a potential clinically relevant target for optimizing neuroprosthetic device use. Author(s) Source Glennon E Valtcheva S, Zhu A, et al.

Optimal deep brain stimulation sites and networks for stimulation of the fornix in Alzheimer’s disease

December 14, 2022Deep brain stimulation (DBS) to the fornix is an investigational treatment for patients with mild Alzheimer’s Disease. Outcomes from randomized clinical trials have shown that cognitive function improved in some patients but deteriorated in others. This could be explained by variance in electrode placement leading to differential engagement of neural circuits. To investigate this, we performed a post-hoc analysis on a multi-center cohort of 46 patients with DBS to the fornix. Using normative structural and functional connectivity data, we found that stimulation of the circuit of Papez and stria terminalis robustly associated with cognitive improvement. On a local level, the optimal stimulation site resided at the direct interface between these structures. Finally, modulating specific distributed brain networks related to memory accounted for optimal outcomes. Findings were robust to multiple cross-validation designs and may define an optimal network target that could refine DBS surgery and programming.
