Deep brain stimulation is an emerging treatment for severe depression, but exactly how it alters the brain to relieve ...

Obtaining prefrontal cortex biopsies during deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery in living patients does not increase the risk of adverse events or cognitive decline compared to standard DBS ...

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 ...

An ultrasound device that can precisely stimulate areas deep in the brain without surgery has been developed by researchers from UCL and the University of Oxford, opening up new possibilities for ...

An early-stage clinical trial has shown that deep brain stimulation (DBS) applied to the cerebellum may aid the recovery of upper limb function after stroke. Researchers studied 12 people with ...

Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University and Allegheny Health Network have developed a new method for deep brain stimulation. The technique, called "DeepFocus," uses transcranial electrical ...

For years, Denise Holtzinger struggled with the debilitating effects of Parkinson’s Disease. Simple tasks like walking or using her hands became nearly impossible as tremors took over her body. But ...

A former bank executive who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in her early 40s has been given a new lease on life by ...

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) has been suggested to be a safe and effective therapeutic option for drug addiction. Although sustained abstinence is better predicted by at least 5 years of drug-free ...

Brain stimulation techniques can correct abnormal activity in the neural circuits involved in conditions such as Parkinson's disease and depression. However, current transcranial stimulation methods ...
