Techniques for infusing nerve growth factors into the brain to treat neurodegenerative disorders by means of an implantable pump and catheter. A sensor is used to detect an attribute of the nervous system which reflects the degeneration of the nerve cells. A microprocessor algorithm analyzes the output from the sensor in order to regulate the amount of growth factor delivered to the brain.
