World's first epilepsy device fitted in boy's skull | BBC News 

... and that useful technology too

​@@sangeet9100 most seizures can be fixed with a ketogenic diet. It was developed specifically for epilepsy in the 1920's, and only fell out favour when drug companies convinced doctors that their drugs would be a better solution; claiming that its unlikely patients could maintain a ketogenic diet long term, and citing poor epidimiolgical studies claiming saturated fat causes heart disease. Something that has been shown more recently to be false and in some early cases fraudulent scientific propaganda from the sugar lobby. Money talks.

and thank god for making me an atheist

@@bettyboohadapoo thank *who* ? 😂😂

No need for blessings. Blessings didn't bring us this device.

​@@DrWhoFan_Jhahahahaha

It already has been used for Parkinson's. He mentions it at 4:10 . There was even a live broadcast of the surgery on National Geographic Channel back in 2015

Neuralink is working on just that.

It's been used in parkinson's for a while now, mnd is quite a lot more complex, but hopefully one day.

It would be great if this could be used to stop the pain signals in the brain for those of Us with Chronic Pain from Fibromyalgia also to rewire the brain to stop the Brain Fog & Chronic Fatigue.

The boy is not fully grown so how does that effect the implants? Won't the growing skull and brain create problems?

The epilepsy creates more problem than the implant. Imagine having 100 seizures per day.

Based on the model shown in the thumbnail image, it seems like it is probably a picostim by Bioinduction. It isn't guaranteed that the model shown is the same as the type that was installed, but it would be weird for the BBC to show a different neurostimulator than what was actually used.

My guess would be it's called a 'DBS device'. I'm sure that, at this stage, the name will be based on function, not least of all because it's a prototype.

Do your own research, its probably a solution for you 🤍 I would personally suggest a carnivore diet, its the best version of a zero carb diet. Look up Dr. Chaffee his content is great.

Yes because they had to wait a month before the device was switched on and until then he was still fitting. Plus epilepsy is the synaptic function miss firing and can happen anywhere in the brain.

@@algrant5293 Thank you for the information! What a great leap the doctors and researchers did for humanity! Best wishes to the boy.

True, but then that becames artificial selection and genocide of unborn fetuses, or test tube engerneering gene selection. At what point would We decide to rule whats acceptable to be born and whats not?

The human brain reaches adult size around age 5. The teen and young adult years is when the pre frontal cortex starts major development. The development that happens at his age isn’t as much physical growth as it is with pruning connections, chemical changes, neuron communication etc

@@KTe..17 Ok but I know for a fact My head is bigger then it was 25 years ago

@@HOLLASOUNDS yeah its full of misinformation

@@kieranmoffett6687 They guy is saying brains dont grow past age five, however clearly a 5 year olds head is significantly smaller then a 40 year olds head.

@@HOLLASOUNDSIf your head keeps growing and your brain doesn’t, then there would just be MORE space for the device over time

show me who asked about what you think :)

​@@candyapple6927Show me your mom

Me, I asked. People come to the comments to see what others think. Even others like you.

If your child or grandchild unfortunately gets this, I hope praying it out is not your solution. Even as a stranger, I know you are dumb enough to not realise praying doesn't do shit. Pls grow up.

@@RM-nm3xn They should try long water fasts. The Keto Diet was originally devloped to stop epilepsy and extended fasts does the same thing but greater.

Ewwwww. That is one of the grossest comments I have read.

@@IamRoxytheModernNomad Thank you.

How do you know?
