ALEXANDRIA, Va., Aug. 12 -- United States Patent no. 12,702,841, issued on Aug. 11, was assigned to Allen Institute (Seattle).
"Electrical stimulation entrainment of targeted neuronal cell types" was invented by Constantinos Anastassiou (Seattle) and Soo Yeun Lee (Seattle).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Electrostimulating waveforms offering simultaneous and controllable cell-type-specific entrainment are described. The waveforms selectively entrain excitatory versus inhibitory cortical and hippocampal neurons including pyramidal neurons, parvalbumin neurons, and somatostatin neurons. The embodiment provides targeted electrical stimulation (ES) entrainment of excitatory versus inhibitory neuron...
