📅 January 1, 2021 👤 Ezeokafor Ifeoma, Upadhya Archana, Shetty Saritha 📖 Frontiers in neuroscience

🤖 Plain-English Summary

Bioelectronic medicines (BEMs) constitute a branch of bioelectronic devices (BEDs), which are a class of therapeutics that combine neuroscience with molecular biology, immunology, and engineering technologies. Two examples of BEDs used as diagnostic agents in biomedical applications based on neurosensory circuits are the bioelectronic nose and bioelectronic tongue.

🔑 Key Findings

  • Thus, BEMs are the culmination of thought processes of scientists of varied fields and herald a new era in the treatment of chronic diseases.
  • BEMs work on the principle of neuromodulation of nerve stimulation.
  • Examples of BEMs based on neuromodulation are those that modify neural circuits through deep brain stimulation, vagal nerve stimulation, spinal nerve stimulation, and retinal and auditory implants.

💡 Why This Matters

Understanding this could lead to better treatments, improved diagnostics, or a deeper grasp of how the human body works — benefiting patient care globally.
