Abstract:
1. A method for responding to a neurological disorder in a human patient comprising: generating, by an implantable device, a signal representative of a cerebral perfusion measurement; receiving and processing, by the implantable device, at predetermined times, a cerebral perfusion measurement; automatically identifying, by the implantable device, a condition in the signal, wherein the condition comprises a predetermined change in cerebral perfusion; identifying, by the implantable device, a structure in a first hemisphere, monitoring, by the implantable device, the first hemisphere for increased blood flow; and automatically performing an action, by the implantable device, wherein the action comprises generating an instruction for therapy based on the identified change in the cerebral perfusion, wherein the therapy comprises stimulating a neural structure in a second hemisphere that is contralateral to the first hemisphere.
