Electrochemistry and the Neuron – an Analytical Review
Abstract Electrochemistry is the process of oxidation-reduction reactions that produce electrochemical reactions and is the intersection between chemistry and electricity. In electrochemistry, electrons are transferred as a result of oxidation-reduction reactions, meaning that a chemical reaction results in electrical movement. Electrochemistry is an applicable concept in a multitude of fields, one being neural activity. Oxidation-reduction…

Exploring Neuromodulation
Introduction Closed-Loop Neuromodulation, also known as an intelligent neuromodulation, is a flexible neural device that sends a signal in response to a biomarker. This focused delivery of a stimulus to neural tissue whose intent is to affect neural or physiological processes helps researchers understand more about human physiology1. A certain biomarker threshold has to be…

Deep Brain Stimulation – A Neurorehabilitation Method for Parkinson’s Patients
Parkinson’s Background and Prevalence Parkinson’s is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that affects movement. As a result, those with Parkinson’s tend to have debilitating symptoms such as tremors, slowed movement, rigid muscles, and writing changes1. When looking at the population as a whole, over ten million people are living with Parkinson’s Disease, and these numbers are…
