When the Doctor Uses A Hack

This immediately made Chen Cang excited!

Wistar is a type of rat, not a name, because... it hasn't received such treatment yet.

However, when Chen Cang opened the gift from the Wistar rat, his eyes lit up!

[Gift from the Wistar rat: Special brain needle, improves accuracy by 50% during rat modeling and surgery!]

Good stuff!

Since performing surgery on rats can also earn me equipment and rewards, the gift from the Wistar rat is truly a gift!

This can directly help me increase the success rate against the monsters.

Chen Cang stood up and said to the staff, "Go and call Director Qi."

The staff nodded, and happened to look down to see that the rat model seemed to have stopped shaking, and... wasn't dead!

Suddenly excited, "Professor Chen... Did you succeed?"

Chen Cang smiled, "Yes, luckily."

Upon hearing Chen Cang's confirmation, the staff's face was filled with uncontrollable excitement, "Professor Chen, you're amazing!"

"Please wait a moment, I'll go notify Director Qi now!"

After speaking, the staff got up and ran outside.

Since Chen Cang came to the lab, the research progress on Parkinson's rats seemed to have accelerated dramatically.

Almost every day, everyone had new discoveries and research results.

Upon hearing the news of Chen Cang's successful surgery, Qi Kai hurriedly put down his work and rushed over.

Despite being nearly sixty years old, the old man's running speed was not slower than that of young people.

"Professor Chen, did it succeed?"

Chen Cang nodded and also called Wu Hui:

Chen Cang said seriously:

"The core of pathological detection for Parkinson's is still the appearance of Lewy bodies."

"You see, my main operation area was still the substantia nigra in the rat brain, as this is where Lewy bodies first appear when Parkinson's occurs. However, after trying, I found it's not the case!"

"The Lewy bodies in the substantia nigra can't directly act, they still need to be controlled through the thalamus..."

"And the rat's hypothalamus is very small, I thought it still needed to find the ventral intermediate nucleus of the thalamus, but due to the rat's peculiarities, it's very difficult."

"So, I started looking for new breakthroughs, which is the caudate nucleus!"

"You see, in this surgery, I created lesions, but the specific location was between the thalamus and the caudate nucleus."

"In humans, the caudate nucleus mainly functions as a whip loop of the extrapyramidal system to regulate body movements, but it also has a certain influence on the sensory transmission process.

Anatomical evidence also confirms that there are direct projecting fibers from the head of the caudate nucleus to the neocortex, cingulate gyrus, midbrain, and brainstem.

...

Chen Cang's explanation gave everyone an epiphany-like feeling.

"My hypothesis is that for the production of Lewy bodies, we should not concern ourselves too much with that; we need to deal with the target area of Lewy bodies."

"In the next surgery, we will supplement dopamine for the rats while performing the surgery, integrating internal and external treatment, and then observe the effects!"

Qi Kai nodded eagerly!

He personally began seriously checking on the prognosis of the rats!

Over the past few days, Chen Cang has grown increasingly fond of these rats.

Because these rats often surprise Chen Cang with unexpectedly fascinating results.

The progress bar for Parkinson's is also steadily rising day by day!

It soon reached 38%!

Moreover, Chen Cang had gained quite a bit of equipment from the rats.

Among them, there were quite a few... three or forty pieces of rat fur!

Once all the surgeries were over, Chen Cang just wanted to find a place to quickly throw these away...

At this moment, Wu Hui also successfully completed his first surgery.

This gave Chen Cang a pleasant surprise.

Wu Hui was truly becoming more and more satisfactory to Chen Cang.

Every day, everyone was engaged in surgeries, discussions, research, and analysis...

Chen Cang's surgical success rate was also increasing!

The progress bar for Parkinson's was steadily climbing.

On this day, after Chen Cang had a successful surgery, he also acquired rat fur.

Originally thought to be useless, once it reached 100 pieces, Chen Cang was surprised to discover something.

[Ding! 100 pieces of rat fur automatically synthesized into one purple modeling rat!]

[Purple Parkinson's modeling rat: This is a special modeling rat. Using this rat for surgery grants a rat's perspective! Upon successful surgery, a rich progress bar will be rewarded!]

Upon hearing this, Chen Cang's eyes lit up!

Is there really such a reward?

What is the rat's perspective?

Become a rat?

Holding a skeptical attitude, Chen Cang began the next surgery.

But!

During the surgery, Chen Cang was shocked to discover that he seemed to be able to perceive the various nerve reflexes of the brain needle entering the rat's brain!

It's not a rat's perspective, it's a god-like perspective.

It's a major breakthrough!

The surgery continued.

Chen Cang could even perceive the pink Lewy bodies, the depletion of dopamine, and the imbalance of acetylcholine.

At that moment!

Chen Cang was like a cat smelling fish!

He carefully searched... felt...

hoping to locate the core area of the surgery.

At this time, Chen Cang delightfully discovered his magical ability to multitask.

One conscious thought was controlling his surgery, while another was sensing the surgical effects!

As time passed by second by second!

Chen Cang finally felt it!

He finally discovered a method to significantly improve the success rate of the surgery!

It was related to his initial hypothesis!

It's still at the thalamus ventral intermediate nucleus where the lesion is created, as there are receptors there!

When activated by the Parkinson's marker Lewy bodies, the ventral intermediate nucleus undergoes chemical reactions, impacting the caudate nucleus, controlling the direct response of the extrapyramidal system, and simultaneously, the reduction in dopamine is directly influencing...

This is a very complex process!

Surprise!

Chen Cang discovered that by creating lesions in the area of the thalamus ventral intermediate nucleus and inhibiting the sensitivity of the caudate nucleus while supplementing dopamine doses, a basic dynamic balance could be achieved!

This wouldn't affect normal life!

Instead, it makes the pathological product, Lewy bodies, lose its receptors.

This idea generated instant excitement in Chen Cang! The most update n0vels are published on novᴇl(ꜰ)ire.ɴet

[Ding! Congratulations, you completed the surgery on the purple Parkinson's model rat, receiving a generous reward: 2% Parkinson's progress bar!]

Upon hearing the system notification, Chen Cang breathed a sigh of relief!

2% progress bar?

With this...

Is my progress bar already at 50%?

Have I conquered fifty percent of Parkinson's?

[Ding! The Parkinson's progress bar has increased to 50%, granting new stereotactic technology.]

Upon receiving the system notification, Chen Cang felt invigorated.

I was just getting tired of the old stereotactic technology, and now I've obtained a new one!

System, awesome!
