Weightloss by Electric Stimulation
Public Domain by James Gillray
A device has been developed which produces some electricity from the flow in the stomach, stimulating the vagus nerve. This makes the brain assume after a few bites that the stomach is full. In experiments with rats these lost almost 40 percent of their weight. The small device works without batteries and can be easily implanted. It may offer an effective way against obesity.
