A polymer linear actuator for a micro electro mechanical system (MEMS) and a micro manipulator for a measurement device of cranial nerve signal using the same are provided. The polymer linear actuator has first and second bodies positioned spaced apart to a distance from each other, and one or more pairs of V-type moving units connecting the first and second bodies together, wherein the moving units in pair are opposed to each other to convert a rotation motion of the respective moving units into a linear motion, thereby causing the first and second bodies to move linearly.

The present invention relates to a composition comprising PKC agonist as an active ingredient. More precisely, the present inventors confirmed that absence seizure specific SWD was reduced by administrating PKC agonist into an animal model. Therefore, the composition of the present invention comprising PKC agonist as an active ingredient can be effectively used for the prevention and treatment of absence seizure and for the production of health improving functional food.

The disclosure concerns a method for the suppression of visceral pain by regulating the T-type calcium channel; a visceral pain inhibitor that includes a T-type calcium channel inhibitor as an effective ingredient; and a method of screening a visceral pain inhibitor by investigating the suppression activity of T-type calcium channels. Particularly, the present invention relates to a method for the suppression of visceral pain by regulating an alpha 1G T-type calcium channel in the central nervous system and alpha 1H and alpha 1I T-type calcium channels in the peripheral nervous system; a visceral pain inhibitor that includes a T-type calcium channel inhibitor as an effective ingredient; and a method of screening a visceral pain inhibitor by investigating the suppression activity of T-type calcium channels. The method of the present invention can be effectively used to suppress visceral pain by regulating T-type calcium channel in a precise mechanism without any side effects.

A micro manipulator for electrode movement, a driving method thereof, and a brain signal measuring device using the same are provided. The micro manipulator has a guide member having a rectangular hollow hole therein, first and second piezo-electric clamp bodies installed perpendicular to the movement direction of the electrode between the inner opposite sides in the hollow hole of the guide member such that respective both ends thereof are selectively fixed to or separated from the inner sides of the hollow hole depending upon whether of the application of electric power thereto, a drive piezo-electric body whose both ends are connected to the opposite faces, respectively, of the first and second clamp piezo-electric bodies to selectively expand or contract in parallel with the movement direction of the electrode depending upon whether of the application of electric power thereto, and an electrode holder holding therein the electrode and installed on the first or second clamp piezo-electric body in parallel with the expansion or contraction direction of the drive piezo-electric body.
