ALS
At the Mount Sinai West medical facility in New York, a doctor implanted “wires and electrodes into a blood artery” in the brain of an ALS patient on July 6.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, often known as ALS, causes muscle stiffness or weakness that gradually affects all muscles, making it challenging to breathe, move, and eat.
However, the new technology hopes to let ALS sufferers think their way through sending emails, SMS messages, and web searches. It will make it possible for ideas to become computer commands.
In Australia, the treatment has previously been conducted successfully on four ALS patients. The neurointerventional surgeon who performed the operations is Dr. Shahram Majidi.
