Implants can be used to monitor brain activity or stimulate parts of the brain using electrical pulses. In epilepsy, for example, brain implants can determine where in the brain seizures are happening.</p> Tue, 04 May 2021 13:34:26 +0000 webfull 170306 at /channels /channels/channels/news/ms-month-2018-care-and-research-neuro-287055 <p>May is Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Month. Laboratory and clinical studies related to MS involve about 50 members of The Neuro’s staff. They study the disease in all its aspects and at every stage with the help of the most advanced brain imaging technology and the latest cell biology techniques.</p> Fri, 04 May 2018 20:49:03 +0000 webfull 137835 at /channels /channels/event/glia-neuron-interactions-seminar-218870 <p><span><span>The next Glia-Neuron Interactions Seminar takes place on coming Wednesday,  Nov 7th, 9.30 AM, room 1120, Pavillon Paul.
