1. Stochastic microcurrent stimulation of the motor cortex could ameliorate parkinsonian motor symptoms in the rodent model.
2. The prototype of the cortical stimulator capable of delivering randomised microcurrents was designed and successfully constructed.
3. Refinement in the density of the microelectrodes is expected to improve the efficacy and robustness of the system.
4. The technology has potential in clinical practice in the future.
