Filed:

Aug 2, 2013

Appl. No.:

13/958181

Inventors:

Gerwin SCHALK - Glenmont NY, US
Aiko K. THOMPSON - Garnerville NY, US
Peter BRUNNER - Albany NY, US
Xiang Yang CHEN - Albany NY, US
Dennis J. McFARLAND - Albany NY, US

Assignee:

HEALTH RESEARCH, INC. - Menands NY

International Classification:

A61N 1/36

US Classification:

607 45, 607 59, 607 58, 607 48

Abstract:

The present invention provides methods, devices, and systems for restoring or improving nervous system function of a subject. Provided is a method involving: (i) providing an operant conditioning protocol effective to produce targeted neural plasticity (TNP) in a primary targeted central nervous system (CNS) pathway of a subject; and (ii) administering the operant conditioning protocol to the subject to elicit TNP in the primary targeted CNS pathway and to elicit generalized neural plasticity (GNP) in one or more other CNS pathway. The elicitation of the GNP in the one or more other CNS pathway serves to restore or improve a nervous system function of the subject. Provided is a device comprising a nerve stimulation-electromyographic recording component and a controller for operating the nerve stimulation-electromyographic recording component in accordance with an operant conditioning protocol.
