This approach, which encompasses molecular and cellular engineering in combination with neurotransplantation, may be generally useful in reconstructive approaches for many types of nervous system degeneration and injury, including spinal cord injury and stroke.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E(2) Electrical and Optogenetic Neuromodulation and Closed-Loop Feedback of the Brain for Epilepsy\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EDevelopment of novel strategies for the treatment of intractable focal epilepsy through the use of microelectrode recording techniques using closed-loop, adaptive algorithms to drive multielectrode microstimulation of brain nuclei involved in seizure modulation.
