And then I think one of the really interesting things these days is you can actually use
structural MRI data, we can actually create these 3D custom masks and then use a technology called focused transcranial ultrasound to actually rejuvenate certain areas of your brain.
So when it comes to anti-aging,
A central clock in your body is actually the hypothalamus.
The hypothalamus is a little gland in your brain.
It's like seven or eight centimeters deep, so you can't really get to it with conventional techniques.
But your hypothalamus is kind of like regulates your circadian rhythm.
It regulates your melatonin, regulates your growth hormones.
And so if you can actually rejuvenate your hypothalamus, you can actually restore circadian rhythm.
You can produce more growth hormones and all these things.
And how you do that is you actually target your hypothalamus using focused transcranial ultrasound.
There's like two little probes that you kind of attach on this 3D printed custom mask.
You blast the hypothalamus with ultrasound.
It opens up an adhesion molecule where you can then give systemic small molecules, okay?
Systemic small molecules, whatever that could be, all right?
It could be peptides, exosomes, stem cells, cerebral lysine, some of these things you can't do in the U.S., but...
And once you give those small molecules, a much higher percentage of those things actually get into the certain areas that you've targeted with ultrasound.
And so you can actually rejuvenate your hypothalamus.
You can target your hippocampus.
You can improve your memory.
