Medical Word of the Day: Neuromodulation
Electrical stimulation of a peripheral nerve, the spinal cord, or the brain for relief of pain, also means the effect of a neuromodulator on another neuron.
Neuromodulator definition: Any of a various substances, as certain hormones and amino acids, that influence the function of neurons but do not act as neurotransmitters.
Companies are using medical devices to stimulate both the brain and the stomache to control over-eating.EntroMedics, Inc and Leptos Biomedical Inc. are developing devices to help obesity. Neuromodulation is also called neurostimulation is still an emerging science and unforseen consequences of manipulating the body’s chemical-electrical nervous system are unknown.
