Valentin, this is a quote from page 34 of MDT annual report dated 1997.

We are also investigating other therapies including neurostimulation for :

Parkinson's disease- stimulation of other parts of the brain (the subthalamic nucleus and the internal portion of the globu pallidus) may be effective in relieving or greatly reducing other sympotoms of Parkinson's disease, such as rigidity and akinesia.

Epilepsy- our goal is to create a therapy that will detect, monitor, and treat seizures less invasively.

It looks like they are in Phase I of clinical studies with Parkinson's . Nothing listed for Epilepsy which is why I think cybx would be an easy add on for MDT.

Does this answer your question. Go to website www.medtronic.com to get info mailed to you.
