  • Publication number: 20110224752
    Abstract: Methods for treating a neurologic disorder by neurostimulation. The stimulation may be applied using electromagnetic energy. In certain embodiments, distributed electrical stimulation is applied to a target site of the brain in an ongoing fashion. A microelectrode array may be used to provide the distributed electrical stimulation. The method may also comprise the detection of electrophysiologic signals from the brain. These detected signals may be analyzed and used for closed-loop feedback of the neurostimulation. Also provided are systems for neurostimulation and software for operating such systems.

  • Patent number: 6521451
    Abstract: A gas permeable cover for a cell culture or medium storing container which comprises a solid support sized to fit the opening of the container to be covered and has at least one hole which is covered with a permeable section. The permeable section is sufficiently permeable to oxygen and carbon dioxide that live cells can be sustained, and is substantially impermeable to water and water vapor such that the covered containers can be stored in non-humidified chambers without substantial evaporation of water. The cover further has a seal portion which forms a water-and gas-tight seal between the cover and the container when the cover is placed upon the container as configured for use.
