Flexible implants can deliver drugs to different brain regions.

An international research team has developed a new type of brain implant that is elongated, flexible, and embedded with microchannels to deliver drugs to different areas of the brain. This breakthrough is expected to advance research on complex brain functions such as epilepsy, memory, and decision-making, and open up new pathways for precise treatment of neurological diseases. The related paper was published in the latest issue of the journal "Advanced Science."
