1. And if the treatment causes adverse effects, the pulse generator can be turned off. 2. Connected to the electrode is an insulated wire that passes under the skin of the scalp and neck and attaches to the pulse generator. 3. It will take several days for doctors to adjust the pulse generator to maximize its effects, but results of tests performed during surgery were favorable. 4. KU has permission from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to test the pulse generator on four more patients. 5. Shikles will return to the hospital in a couple of weeks to see if the pulse generator needs fine-tuning. 6. Shikles will turn on the pulse generator by placing a magnet on the skin above the device. 7. The device, called a pulse generator, sends an electric current to his brain, jamming nerve signals from the globus pallidus. 8. The electrical impulses are produced by a lithium-battery-powered pulse generator connected to flexible wire leads that transmit the impulses down into the heart. 9. The neural mechanism that is repressed in childhood is a kind of pulse generator in the hypothalamus, a structure located at the base of the brain. 10. The revival of the hormonal pulse generator of the hypothalamus is essential to the onset of puberty, and in fact to the reproductive system of the adult. |
