A research team hailing from New York University Abu Dhabi has crafted an innovative brain implant known as 'Strategic Precision Infusion for Regional Liquid Administration' (SPIRAL). This implant is characterized by its thin, flexible catheter design. Such a design empowers it to precisely administer drugs to various regions within the brain. It can effectively cover a broader expanse and navigate more intricate brain tissue structures, all while preserving its miniaturized and minimally invasive nature. This groundbreaking accomplishment paves the way for a fresh approach in treating neurological disorders, including Parkinson's disease and depression. The pertinent research findings have been published in the esteemed Journal of Neural Engineering.
