Implants can be used to monitor brain activity or stimulate parts of the brain using electrical pulses. In epilepsy, for example, brain implants can determine where in the brain seizures are happening.</p></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-primary-image field-type-image field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><img class="no-float" src="/channels/files/channels/styles/wysiwyg_medium/public/channels/image/a_sweet_solution_to_hard_brain_implants_modified.png?itok=g0jclrLf" width="160" height="83" /></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-published-date field-type-datestamp field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><div class="custom-multi-date"><div class="multi-date first"><span class="label">Published: </span><span class="day">4 </span><span class="month">May </span><span class="year">2021</span></div></div></div></div></div> Tue, 04 May 2021 13:34:26 +0000 webfull 170306 at /channels /channels/channels/news/ms-month-2018-care-and-research-neuro-287055 <div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>May is Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Month.
