Ever thought about how DeSci could help prevent lobotomies? 🧠
Yup, us neither - until we learned about Project ACCeleration which focuses on brain tissue regeneration.
Sounds like science fiction? It's not! 🧪 A number of other companies have already begun work on brain tissue replacement, however, none are focusing on the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC)—the area of the brain responsible for attention, impulse control, pain, emotion, and decision-making, which makes us distinctly human.
Issues in the ACC are linked to several severe mental health disorders and in the most extreme cases, surgical interventions where lesions are formed on the brain still occur!
The research team has asked a fundamental question: If we can replace other organs in the body, why not brain tissue? And how can we restore it to full function? 🔬
