Precision adds new hospital sites for its brain-mapping study

Precision Neuroscience/Layer 7 Cortical Interface

Precision Neuroscience announced expansion to two new clinical study sites at Mount Sinai Health System and Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, aiming to enroll up to 15 patients annually at each site during neurosurgery. Mount Sinai would map motor and sensory cortex, while Penn researchers would decode hand movement signals using motion-capture gloves during awake surgery.

• Mount Sinai site: functional mapping of motor and sensory cortex using 1,024-electrode Layer 7 implant; intraoperative and neurocritical care applications.
• Penn Medicine site: records hand movement signals during awake deep brain stimulation surgery; uses motion-capture gloves to correlate brain signals with limb kinematics.
• Expansion of clinical data collection; Layer 7 array provides unprecedented electrode density (1,024) enabling high-resolution cortical mapping during neurosurgery.
