A boy in the UK has made headlines after being the first to successfully receive a new device to treat epilepsy. A neurostimulator fitted into his skull sends electrical signals deep into the brain, and has managed to reduce Oran Knowlson’s daytime seizures by 80%. This stimulation of the deep brain tissues, also referred to as DBS, was pioneered in animals.
