An animal study to examine the effects of the bilateral epidural cortical stimulation on the progression of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

摘要

BackgroundWe examined the effects of the unilateral cortical stimulation on the survival of neurons showing degenerative changes and compared those in delaying the progression of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) between the unilateral cortical stimulation and the bilateral one in an animal experimental model using mice.
