Brainex patented

What does this mean for people?

This research importantly demonstrates that mammalian brains may have greater resilience to restrictions in blood and oxygen, given appropriate interventions, than we have previously appreciated. While we know that people lose consciousness seconds after blood flow to the brain is cut off, and that our brain’s main source of energy runs out within minutes, we may need to begin rethinking what we previously thought was an irreversible chain of events leading to permanent brain damage and death. This has huge implications for bridging the gap between basic research and clinical treatments. If we can study intact, functioning brains as a whole in the lab, perhaps we can better understand how the brain recovers after global anoxia or ischemia. This could allow us to better treat people who suffer from heart attacks or stroke, who may temporarily lose normal blood flow to the brain. Further, we could potentially use tools like this to study brain conditions such as neurodegenerative disease, which may involve impairments in neurovascular functioning. While this kind of technology still requires more testing and optimization, the possibilities are tremendously exciting!
