  • CHOLINERGIC DEEP BRAIN STIMULATOR
    Publication number: 20170143967
    Abstract: A cholinergic deep brain stimulator is provided that can be used to increase brain acetylcholine levels. This increase in acetylcholine levels improves cognition and may be used to remediate disorders in which cognitive loss is a prominent symptom including Alzheimer's Disease, vascular dementia, traumatic brain injury, or drug addiction.
