An implantable apparatus, such as a cochlear implant, for delivering electrical plasticity informative stimuli to a neural network of an implantee. The apparatus comprises a stimulator device (40) that generates stimulation signals, and an electrode array (20) 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 occuring agents into the neural network to influence the functionality thereof.
L'invention concerne un appareil implantable, tel qu'un implant cochléaire, permettant d'administrer un stimulus électrique informatif à plasticité à un réseau neuronal d'un utilisateur. L'appareil comprend un dispositif de stimulation (40) générant des signaux de stimulation et un réseau d'électrodes (20) recevant les signaux de stimulation et administrant le stimulus au réseau neuronal de l'utilisateur, en réponse aux signaux. Le stimulus administré à l'utilisateur facilite et/ou commande la production et/ou la libération d'agents d'origine naturelle dans le réseau neuronal, de manière à influencer la fonctionnalité de celui-ci.
