Epilepsy is a neurological disorder of the central nervous system in which brain activity becomes abnormal, resulting in seizures or periods of unusual behaviour or sensation, and sometimes loss of consciousness.

The project focuses on refractory epilepsy, that is epilepsy for which we have not found any effective treatment yet.  For this reason, numerous researches are being conducted with the intention of discovering possibilities for therapy.

We collaborate with the Institute of Biomedical Research of Salamanca (IBSAL), on finding alternatives for those who suffer from refractory epilepsy. We propose a PCB, which generates impulses for the acute and chronic stimulation of peripheral nerves in laboratory animals.

Specifically, the system has been designed to induce electrical stimuli in the vagus nerve, in a simple, reliable and economic way, by means of a microelectrode in the form of a clamp that is placed in the cervical portion of this nerve.

For now, the research is delivering good results, we hope it will become a valuable solution in the future.
