Now, why do we use add on, nearly, an epileptic focus?

Now if drugs fail in epileptic treatment, one of the strategies is to remove part of the brain.

And then, we fast forward to about 1932, when three Italian psychiatrists, who were largely treating depression, began to notice among their patients, who were also epileptics, that if they had an epileptic a series of epileptic fits, a lot of them in a row the depression would very frequently lift.

Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is epileptic, and suffers grievously for he often falls into the fire, and often into the water.

Well, responsive electrical stimulation means that we sense, at a place in your brain which is called an epileptic focus, which is where the epileptic seizure begins we sense there, that it's going to happen, and then we respond by applying an electrical energy at that spot, which erases the errant signal so that you don't get the clinical manifestations of the migraine headache.

Then we stimulated, and you see how that heavy black line and then you see the electroencephalogram signal going to normal, which means they did not get the epileptic seizure.

And then with four screws, we put in a frame, then we snap in the device and we run with wires the one shown in green will go to the surface of the brain with electrodes, to the epileptic focus, the origin of the epilepsy, where we can sense the electrical signal and have computer analysis that tells us when to hit it with some electrical current to prevent the clinical manifestation of the seizure.
