INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 31, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- A first study demonstrating successful deep-brain placement of a brain computer interface microchip into a living animal with no apparent neurological effects is now published from Julian E. Bailes, MD, a recognized leader in the field of neurosurgery and co-director of the NorthShore University HealthSystem. Dr. Bailes' work has addressed the long-standing challenge of safely accessing subcortical regions of the brain for the purpose of microchip implantation without disrupting surrounding tissue.

Key Points: 
  • First study of successful deep-brain implant of computer could lead to new treatments for many neurological disorders.
  • "This study had two intentions," Dr. Bailes explained.
  • The use of brain-computer interface (BCI) technologies is a rapidly developing area of interest in neurosurgery and medicine as a whole.
  • Its technologies have been featured in more than 180 peer-reviewed published papers with over 550 unique authors from major academic centers.

INDIANAPOLIS, April 20, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- NICO Corporation, a pioneer and leader in minimally invasive neurosurgery, today announced results from the completed ENRICH (Early MiNimally-invasive Removal of ICH) trial will be presented at the annual American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS) meeting in Los Angeles from April 21-24. The ENRICH results were accepted as a late-breaker and will be presented on Saturday, April 22 during an oral plenary session beginning at 8:30 a.m. PT (11:30 a.m. ET) by co-lead ENRICH investigator, Gustavo Pradilla, M.D., associate professor of neurosurgery at Emory University School of Medicine and chief of neurosurgery at Grady Memorial Hospital. 

Key Points: 
  • The ENRICH results were accepted as a late-breaker and will be presented on Saturday, April 22 during an oral plenary session beginning at 8:30 a.m. PT (11:30 a.m.
  • ET) by co-lead ENRICH investigator, Gustavo Pradilla, M.D., associate professor of neurosurgery at Emory University School of Medicine and chief of neurosurgery at Grady Memorial Hospital.
  • BrainPath was the first neurosurgery device to enable minimally disruptive, navigable, trans-sulcal access to the brain while Myriad offers multi-functional capabilities for automated, non-ablative hemorrhage evacuation.
  • As the amount of blood increases , the build-up of pressure can lead to brain damage, unconsciousness or even death.
