What Is Deep Brain Stimulation? The procedure involves implanting electrodes within areas of the brain for people with movement conditions. "The electrodes produce electrical impulses that affect ...

With the introduction of adaptive deep brain stimulation (aDBS) for Parkinson's disease, new questions emerge regarding who, why, and how to treat. This paper outlines the pathophysiological rationale ...

Parkinson's Disease is a movement disorder that affects the nervous system. Deep Brain Stimulation surgery, or DBS, is helping those living with the condition.

A helmet that looks more like sports gear than surgical equipment is quietly rewriting what is possible in brain medicine. By ...

Deep brain stimulation, by implanted electrodes that deliver electrical pulses to the brain, is often used to treat Parkinson's disease and other neurological disorders. However, the electrodes used ...

Learn how deep brain stimulation – like a pacemaker for the brain – is helping patients with neurologic conditions like Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, and in some cases, epilepsy. Functional ...

More than one million Americans are living with Parkinson’s disease and another 90,000 people are expected to be diagnosed ...

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) involves stimulating certain parts of your brain with implanted electrodes. It’s a promising treatment for treatment-resistant OCD. The main treatments for OCD are talk ...

Researchers have uncovered a fast-acting brain network that may determine how effectively deep brain stimulation improves Parkinson’s symptoms. Parkinson’s disease can make everyday movements slow, ...

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) improves motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease by modulating a specific brain network that is mainly active in the fast beta frequency range (20 to 35 Hz). This conclusion ...
