	10/20/2000	Nucleus 24 Auditory Brainstem Implant System	Cochlear Corporation
		How does it work? The system consists of a receiver/stimulator, a pocket sized speech processor worn on the body, and the microphone/headset. During surgery, the receiver/stimulator is implanted behind the ear. A wire leads from the receiver/stimulator to a series of electrodes that are implanted into the brainstem. The speech processor and microphone/headset pick up sound and change it into electrical impulses that are sent to the implanted receiver/stimulator. The impulses travel down the wire to the electrodes, which electrically stimulate the area of the brain that normally receives the electrical signal from the ear

VNS consists of a stopwatch-sized device that's surgically implanted in the upper chest. The electrical stimulation is thought to alter the chemical transmitters that carry messages between nerve cells involved in regulating mood.
