Minnesota Teen's Worm-Based Ultrasound System Cuts Seizure Recurrence by 70%
Evan Morris, a teenager from Minnesota, developed a low-cost system combining worms and ultrasound to study and suppress seizures. The system employs sonogenetics alongside a computer-controlled closed-loop detection method to monitor and respond to seizure activity. In testing, the approach reduced seizure recurrence by 70% in a model environment. Morris was recognized with a major award for his contribution to life science research. His platform is seen as a faster and more affordable alternative for advancing neuroscience studies.
