Patent Document ID: 9265931
Application ID: 14845153

Base Claim:
1. An implantable responsive neurostimulator for treating a language disorder in a patient, comprising: at least one first electrode configured to be implanted in a first region of the patient's brain, the first region being related to the language disorder; at least one second electrode configured to be implanted in a second region of the patient's brain, the second region of the patient's brain for treating the language disorder; at least one third electrode configured to be implanted in a third region of the patient's brain for treating the language disorder, wherein the third region is different from both the first region and the second region; a detection subsystem coupled to the at least one first electrode, and configured to: continuously monitor one or more electrical signals sensed from the first region of the patient's brain during a selected period when the patient is experiencing a stage of sleep; detect in the one or more electrical signals an occurrence of a neurological event that causes a language disorder; and a therapy subsystem coupled to the at least one second electrode, and the at least one third electrode, and configured to, in response to a detection of an occurrence of a neurological event: apply neurostimulation through the at least one second electrode to the second region of the patient's brain; and apply neurostimulation through the at least one third electrode to the third region of the patient's brain.

Claim 8:
8. The neurostimulator of claim 1 , wherein the therapy subsystem is further coupled to the at least one first electrode and is further configured to apply neurostimulation to at least one of the first region, the second region, and the third region at a plurality of scheduled intervals during the selected period even in an absence of a detection of an occurrence of a neurological event.
