Apparatus for treating neurodegenerative disorders

A system for the treatment of neurological disorders of a brain (B) comprising in combination: at least two electrodes (115) adapted to be located within a patient's body with at least one electrode (115) of the at least two electrodes (115) located within the patient's body being a brain electrode (115) adapted to be placed within the patient's head (B); a control module (10) adapted to be implanted within the patient's body for transmitting output signals from the control module (10) responsive to at least one input electrical signal originating in the patient's brain (B), the control module (10) including electronic circuitry, the electronic circuitry of the control module including a data recording means (204); electrical conducting means (22) for providing electrical connections between the electrodes and the electronic circuitry of the control module (10); and external equipment means adapted to be located external to the human patient for providing two-way communication between the external equipment means and the control module (10) for receiving data transmission from the control module (10) and transmitting signals to be received by the control module (10) for defining the output signals from the control module (10), whereby said output signals provide a stimulation signal to terminate a neurological event.
