“A radioactive wafer implanted at the site of surgically removed brain tumors” “nearly doubled two-year survival rates in a randomized trial,” reports The Doomslayer.
The Wall Street Journal notes that
Brain tumors are one of the most devastating consequences of cancer’s spread—hard to treat and highly deadly. Scientists have found that using a radioactive implant precisely where a tumor was removed in the brain can help patients get their cancer treated more quickly and in many cases, live longer.
A new study showed that GammaTile, a radioactive wafer the size of a postage stamp, nearly doubled survival rates and nearly eliminated tumor regrowth in people who had it placed in the spot where brain tumors were surgically removed.
Brain implants are restoring cognitive abilities wiped out by traumatic brain injuries.
Brain implants could fight depression.
A brain implant lets people control Alexa with their mind. “Mark, a 64-year-old with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, uses Amazon Alexa all the time using his voice. But now, thanks to a brain implant, he can also control the virtual assistant with his mind,” reports Wired.
Neuralink implanted a brain chip in 21 people.
