Brain slice aids speech recovery
A team of researchers at the University of Pittsburgh in the United States has developed a brain chip that enhances speech and swallowing abilities after brain injuries. The device significantly improved the performance of facial and throat muscles. It used low-frequency electrical stimulation through the motor thalamus, resulting in an improvement of up to 20% in the condition of a patient who had been involved in a car accident. The study confirms that deep electrical stimulation procedures are a promising solution for treating speech and motor function problems, especially considering that more than 5 million people in the United States suffer from speech and swallowing issues.
