Bioelectronic medicine: Preclinical insights and clinical advances

Neuron. 2022 Nov 2;110(21):3627-3644. doi: 10.1016/j.neuron.2022.09.003. Epub 2022 Sep 28.

Abstract

The nervous system maintains homeostasis and health. Homeostatic disruptions underlying the pathobiology of many diseases can be controlled by bioelectronic devices targeting CNS and peripheral neural circuits. New insights into the regulatory functions of the nervous system and technological developments in bioelectronics drive progress in the emerging field of bioelectronic medicine. Here, we provide an overview of key aspects of preclinical research, translation, and clinical advances in bioelectronic medicine.
