Title:
APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CLOSED-LOOP INTRACRANIAL STIMULATION FOR OPTIMAL CONTROL OF NEUROLOGICAL DISEASE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2000007494
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
This invention is a neurological control system (999) for modulating activity of any component or structure comprising the entirety or portion of the nervous system, or any structure interfaced thereto, generally referred to herein as a "nervous system component". The neurological control system generates neural modulation signals delivered to a nervous system component through one or more intracranial (IC) stimulating electrodes (37) in accordance with treatment parameters. Such treatment parameters may be derived from a neural response to previously delivered neural modulation signals sensed by one or more sensors (247), each configured to sense a particular characteristic indicative of a neurological or psychiatric condition. Neural modulation signals include any control signal which enhances or inhibits cell activity. Significantly the neurological control system considers neural response, in the form of the sensory feedback, as an indication of neurological disease state, and/or responsiveness to therapy, in the determination of treatment parameters.
