Patent

CA 2595869

An implantable apparatus, such as an inner ear prosthetic hearing implant, and a method for delivering neuron firing threshold-reducing stimuli to a neural network of an implantee are provided. The apparatus comprises a stimulator device that generates stimulation signals, and an electrode array that receives the stimulation signals and delivers the stimuli to the neural network of the implantee in response to the signals. The stimuli delivered to the implantee facilitates and/or controls the production and/or release of naturally occurring agents into the neural network to reduce the firing thresholds of neurons.

L'invention concerne un appareil implantable, tel qu'un implant auditif protéthique de l'oreille, et un procédé pour administrer des stimuli réduisant le seuil de décharge des neurones vers un réseau neural d'un patient nécessitant la pose d'un implant. L'appareil comprend un dispositif de stimulation qui produit des signaux de stimulation, et un réseau d'électrodes qui reçoit les signaux de stimulation et administre les stimuli au réseau neural du patient en réponse à des signaux. Les stimuli administrés facilitent et/ou régulent la production et/ou la libération d'agents apparaissant naturellement dans le réseau neural, de manière à réduire les seuils de décharge des neurones.
