"Yes, deep brain stimulation of the fornix for one month can increase glucose metabolism in two orthogonal neural networks, namely frontal-temporal-parietal-striatal-thalamic network and frontal-temporal-parietal-occipital-hippocampal network. Wu Mian said, "But at that time, other technologies were not up to par. ”
"Is it because of magnetic resonance?"
"Thank you for turning our vision into reality, albeit in a weakened version. Wu Mian said, "The DST surround matrix gradient system of the SIGNA Pioneer 3.0T NMR is not perfect for magnetic resonance, but after I modified some things and added new software, it was enough." ”
"......" Jack Jones listened to the conversation between Wu Mian and Rodriguez, and further strengthened the idea of seizing the time and signing a contract with Wu Mian.
"What's new in research?" Rodriguez asked, grabbing Wu Mian with his eyes shining.
"Deep brain stimulation is more effective than drug therapy, which is associated with persistent increased cortical metabolism after electrical stimulation. Rod, have you gone back to see our rats?"
"No, isn't it dead?" Rodriguez was a little dazed.
"A lot of research, it takes time, damn time! Wu Mian said for a long time.
Obviously, when he met Rodriguez and met the only person other than Chu Zhixi who could talk to him about deep brain stimulation, Wu Mian's emotions were also slightly excited.
"I asked them to keep the rats for me for 2 years, and I looked at the data every day. "Deep brain stimulation has also been shown to have neurotrophic effects, which can increase the release of endogenous trophic factors, such as brain-derived neurotrophic factor and vascular endothelial growth factor, promote the expression of synaptic proteins and promote neurogenesis in the hippocampus." ”
"Is it already decided?"
"Well, it's decided. Wu Mian said, "It doesn't make sense, you know why, Rod." But you've built the SIGNA Pioneer 3.0T's DST Surround Matrix Gradient System Magnetic Resonance, and it can all go on!"
"But I ...... three years ago"
"It was 2 years and 10 months. Wu Mian corrected, "At that time, I was working on another research, and I didn't have time to turn all this into reality. And you know, my attitude towards GM. ”
"Wu, it has nothing to do with General Medical, all capital will do this. ”
"Rod, this has nothing to do with me. I can talk to Ranko, I can talk to Johnson & Johnson, I can talk to Siemens, but I just can't talk to GM. ”
"Magnetic resonance systems are GE......"
"Rod, how long is your contract?
"50 million. ”
"With such a low liquidated damages, as long as you agree, we can happily study together anytime and anywhere. As for the SIGNA Pioneer 3.0T NMR's DST surround matrix gradient system, it's not perfect, it's just a prototype. It only takes us 1 year to upgrade it successfully. ”
As he spoke, Wu Mian looked at Rodriguez seriously, his tone full of temptation, "Rod, don't you want to see your child grow up as soon as possible?"
After Jack Jones heard Wu Mian's words, his heart pounded.
Rodriguez is a leading engineer in the field of magnetic resonance, and the SIGNA Pioneer 3.0T magnetic resonance system can be said to have been built by him.
Can you dig up this kind of person...... Lanco doesn't do MRI, but any company in the world that makes MRI machines won't mind $50 million in liquidated damages.
As for the relevant technical terms, it is not a problem, and the constraints on not being able to engage in related industries within five years are also similar to none.
It's a great lawsuit, and the justices are not the watchdogs of general medical experts.
As long as there are enough lawyers, delay for 3 years, and the new machine is successfully developed, General Medical will not have the patience to continue grinding.
With Wu Zai, upgrading, GM's early investment is like Ranco's mitral valve clip, which cannot be upgraded and sold step by step according to the previous steps to obtain maximum profits.
Rodriguez was intrigued by Wu's proposal, and his mind was full of upgraded MRI systems.
"Rode, you know, later my research in rodents found that deep electrical stimulation of the anterior thalamic nucleus and entorhinal cortical brain can promote hippocampal neurogenesis by promoting the proliferation of dentate gyrus cells and the survival of new neurons, thereby improving spatial memory in rats or mice. ”
"And the DST Wraparound Matrix Gradient System, your genius design, can even go further and find a way to replicate memories. ”
“......”
Hearing Wu Mian say this, the air at the scene suddenly froze. Wu Mian didn't speak loudly, only Rodriguez and Jack Jones could hear it.
The eyes of the two were wide, and they looked at Wu Mian in a daze.
"I'm just talking about a hypothesis, and it will take at least 20 years of research if it is to be viable. Wu Mian then said.
"Wu, is it true?"
"You can take a look in a moment. "Continuing to return to the current topic, deep brain stimulation promotes neurogenesis, axon remodeling, synaptogenesis, gliogenesis, increased neuronal volume, increased microvascularization, increased extracellular fluid, or a combination of the above." ”
"What we're going to do is a patient in a vegetative state, you know, it's easier to treat in a vegetative state than to treat Alzheimer's disease. ”
"Surely, one brain cell has apoptosis and one just doesn't have nerve stimulation. ”
"Take a look at the brain maps made with the new DST Wraparound Matrix Gradient System, every time I see this, I remember the happy times we had working together. ”
"Wu, the DST Wrap-Around Matrix Gradient System is based on an idea we had from the past. Rodriguez said honestly.
"No, no, no, that's just an idea, you turned him into reality, and now I've upgraded it again. Wu Mian took out his mobile phone, made a call to Chu Zhixi, and then said, "The patient will be sent soon, and I will do an MRI today, and then have surgery." ”
"Don't you need to study the surgical path?" asked Rodriguez in surprise.
According to past experience, the most important thing is to do 3.0T magnetic resonance examination and CT examination first, and study the pathway.
"Rod, you'll understand after reading it. Wu Mian brought Rodriguez and Jack Jones to the operation room.
When Rodriguez wanted to debug the machine and see what changes Wu Mian had made, he was slapped on the back of his hand by Wu Mian.
"Wu!"
"It's a trade secret, I think you must be dazed. Wu Mian smiled, "Rod, think about it and come and work together." ”
"......" Rodriguez looked at Wu Mian in a daze.
Jack Jones knew that he was pondering what Wu Mian said, and that changing jobs was as simple as eating and drinking water for a technical bull like Rodriguez.
