It is possible to wake up coma patients

Despite the brilliant development of the 21st Century, we are still not familiar with the brain. In this regard, scientists from the University of Wisconsin, Madison have made interesting experiments on macaque monkeys, details of which have been published in the journal Neuron. When he delivered a 50-Hz frequency electric shock to the central lateral thalamus, a cerebral hemisphere of monkeys unconscious through medicine was completely normal and awakened.

The thalamus is located near the cerebral root or stem and plays an important role in sleeping, waking, keeping conscious and delirious, but this experience tells us which part of the brain is the awareness and awareness. I play an important role. This is why the electrodes used in the research were specifically designed.

Professor Yuri Salman, who played an important role in the research, said that if we provided electricity in this precise part of the brain, the animals woke up and they immediately became unconscious as soon as the activity in the brain was stopped.

It is expected that after this discovery not only will it be possible to awaken the patients who are unconscious for a long time, but also that the device will be developed to keep people in control.
