Brain Heatsink to Reduce Seizures
Some Japanese researchers applied for a patent on an implanted brain radiator to reduce heat in areas of focal seizures. This device works in the same way as heatsinks in computers and radiators in cars. The researchers found that seizure activity increases the temperature of the affected brain area so they want to decrease seizures by decreasing the temperature. I have to admit, this is one of the strangest brain disorder treatments I’ve seen in quite a while.
