1. An intelligent brain pacemaker for a mammal having a cranial nerve not associated with an autonomic function comprising: (a) a multichannel microwire electrode array for acquiring neural signals from a plurality of single neurons comprising: (i) one or more connectors having contacts spaced apart about 0.030 inches (center to center) or less; (ii) one or more printed circuit boards comprising: (1) a plurality of conductive traces spaced apart about 0.015 inches (center to center) or less; and (2) a plurality of conductive pads in communication with the conductive traces and in electrical connection with the connectors; and (iii) a plurality of microwire electrodes, each microwire electrode having a second end in electrical connection with one of the plurality of conductive traces and a flexible first end, the first end extending away from the printed circuit board and comprising an exposed portion for transmission of electrical signals from with neural tissue when the exposed portion is positioned in close proximity with an individual neuron; (b) a seizure detector adapted to detect seizure-related brain activity of a mammal in real-time, the seizure detector being electrically connected to the multichannel microwire electrode array; (c) one or more nerve stimulators adapted to provide electrical stimulation to a mammal's cranial nerve not associated with an autonomic function, to terminate or ameliorate the seizure, the one or more nerve simulators being electrically connected to the seizure detector; and (d) a power source for providing power to the intelligent brain pacemaker.
