  • Remote activation of the midbrain by transcranial direct current stimulation of prefrontal cortex
    Patent number: 9597500
    Abstract: A method and system of remotely stimulating the midbrain area is disclosed. Transcranial direct current stimulation is applied via a cathode attached to the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and an anode attached to the ventromedial prefrontal cortex. These regions are either directly connected or indirectly connected to the midbrain region. The stimulation allows non-invasive stimulation of neurons in the midbrain region to address brain disorders such as Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia, depression and addiction.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 26, 2014
    Date of Patent: March 21, 2017
    Assignee: California Institute of Technology
    Inventors: Vikram Chib, Kyongsik Yun, Hidehiko Takahashi, Shinsuke Shimojo
