The newly developed "lab on a tube" is a catheter equipped with multiple sensors capable of continuously monitoring numerous physiological and biochemical changes in the brain, simultaneously. The device is designed to also drain cerebrospinal fluid -- the liquid which the brain floats in -- as well as deliver medications directly to the brain.
