Brain chip enhances speech recovery after injury
A team of researchers at the University of Pittsburgh in the United States has developed a brain chip that helps improve speech and swallowing abilities after brain injuries. The device sends low-frequency electrical signals to the deep brain area known as the motor thalamus, which is connected to the motor cortex. Experiments have shown that deep brain stimulation via the chip aids in activating face and throat muscles, with one patient's condition improving by nearly 20% after the chip was implanted to enhance their speech and muscle control following injury-induced impairments. The researchers emphasize that this technology is currently considered a viable solution for treating speech and swallowing difficulties related to brain injuries. Studies confirm that the loss of the ability to speak adversely affects individuals’ lives, impacting their work, independence, and social relationships.
