EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn.,
June 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/
-- NeuroOne Medical Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ:
NMTC; NeuroOne or the Company), a medical technology company
focused on improving surgical care options and outcomes for
patients suffering from neurological disorders, announces today the
formation of a six member advisory board of leading neurosurgeons
to assist in the completion of development of a radio frequency
ablation electrode intended to record and ablate brain tissue
linked to causing seizure activity.
The six members that have been appointed to the advisory board
are as follows:
- Dr. Daniel Couture, Wake Forest
Baptist Health
- Dr. Gerald Grant, Stanford University Medical Center
- Dr. Bob Gross, Emory University
- Dr. Zachary Levine, Holy Cross
Health, George Washington
University
- Dr. Guy McKhann, New York
Presbyterian Hospital, Columbia
University
- Dr. Jamie Van Gompel, Mayo
Clinic
NeuroOne CEO Dave Rosa says, "We
are honored to have an opportunity to partner with such
distinguished neurosurgeons who I believe will be extremely helpful
in accelerating our ablation electrode technology program. Their
experience in the field will be indispensable to the Company in
developing a product that allows neurologists to record brain
activity and ablate targeted brain tissue in the same procedure.
The electrode is also expected to save time, cost and potentially
improve outcomes, adding value to both patients and physicians that
could benefit from this technology."
About NeuroOne
NeuroOne Medical Technologies Corporation is a developmental stage
company committed to providing minimally invasive and hi-definition
solutions for EEG recording, brain stimulation and ablation
solutions for patients suffering from epilepsy, Parkinson's
disease, dystonia, essential tremors, chronic pain due to failed
back surgeries and other related neurological disorders that may
improve patient outcomes and reduce procedural costs. For more

On February 23, 2021, the Company announced it had
successfully met the first performance milestone in the
distribution and development agreement signed with Zimmer Biomet
on July 20, 2020 . In addition to acquiring exclusive
global distribution rights to NeuroOne's Evo™ (Evo) patented
electrode technology, the partnership also offered the potential
for NeuroOne to earn back-end milestone payments if certain events
were met within a specified time frame.
NeuroOne received FDA clearance for its Evo cortical technology
in November 2019.
In partnership with Mayo Clinic, Wisconsin Alumni Research
Foundation (WARF) and other prominent academic medical centers, the
Company began developing its cortical electrode technology in 2015.
The Company initially focused its efforts on the epilepsy and
intraoperative tumor monitoring markets. NeuroOne intends to
continue to develop the technology for use in therapeutic
applications for Parkinson's disease, epilepsy and pain management
due to failed back surgery procedures.
