.bienvenidos
Estamos trabajando sobre: - Estimulación cerebral profunda para
el tratamiento de los Trastornos del movimiento (Parkinson, Distonias, Temblores, etc), el Dolor (Cefaleas incoercibles,
Angor, Neuropático, Fantasma, etc) y la Epilepsia.
- Despistaje de trastornos neuropáticos
en la disfunción erectil del hombre y de la lubricación vaginal en la mujer (diabeticos, post-parto, traumaticos,
BDSM, etc)
- Alteraciones del ciclo circadiano y trastornos del sueño (narcolepsia,
turnos laborales, insomnios, sindrome metabolico, apneas, ect.)
- Cirugía traumatológica
(escoliosis, hernias de disco, caderas, etc.) y neuroquirúgica (implante de electrodos, estirpación de
tumores, lesiones epileptogénicas, angulo, etc.) seguras por monitorización neurofisiológica
intraoperatoria)
- Evaluación neurofisiológicas del sistema visual (retinosis pigmentaria,
lesiones neurales, etc) y troncoencefalico para diagnosis precoz y evaluación diagnóstica
- Sistemas de calidad aplicadas a la gestión sanitaria.
In the early 1970s Jose Manuel Rodriguez
Delgado, a professor of physiology at Yale University, was among the world’s most acclaimed—and controversial—neuroscientists. In 1970 the New York Times Magazine hailed him in a cover story as
the “impassioned prophet of a new ‘psychocivilized society’ whose members would infl
uence and alter their own mental functions.” The article added, though, that some of Delgado’s
Yale colleagues saw “frightening potentials” in his work. Delgado, after all, had pioneered
that most unnerving of technologies, the brain chip—an electronic device that can manipulate the mind
by receiving signals from and transmitting them to neurons. Long the McGuffi ns of science fi ction, from The Terminal Man to The
Matrix, brain chips are now being used or tested as treatments for epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease,
paralysis, blindness and other disorders. Decades ago Delgado carried out experiments that
were more dramatic in some respects than anything being done today.
