Brain stimulation in obesity

International Journal of Obesity, 2017
Obesity is taking up epidemic proportions worldwide with significant impacts on the health of both the affected individual and on society as a whole. Treatment approaches consist of behavioural and pharmacological approaches, however, these are often found to be ineffective. In severe obesity, bariatric surgery is frequently performed.

Brain stimulation in migraine

2013
Migraine is a very prevalent disease with great individual disability and socioeconomic burden. Despite intensive research effort in recent years, the etiopathogenesis of the disease remains to be elucidated. Recently, much importance has been given to mechanisms underlying the cortical excitability that has been suggested to be dysfunctional in ...

Anesthesia for deep brain stimulation

Current Opinion in Anaesthesiology, 2011
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a well accepted treatment modality for many movement disorders such as Parkinson's disease and an increasing number of other functional neurological disorders like dystonias and epilepsy. This review will highlight the recent developments in our knowledge regarding the effects of anesthetic agents on neurophysiologic ...

Brain Stimulation

2021
Apathy is a disabling condition with a large burden of disease and lack of effective treatments. Over the past decades, new treatment modalities have been explored, including neuromodulation with repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS). An accepted treatment for depression in many countries, rTMS is well tolerated and has few side effects ...

Brain stimulation for epilepsy

Nature Clinical Practice Neurology, 2005
It is estimated that epilepsy affects up to 1% of the world's population, and although many patients derive considerable benefits from antiepileptic drugs or resective surgery, new therapeutic approaches are still needed. In this Viewpoint, William Theodore assesses the potential of techniques that involve direct or indirect electrical stimulation of ...

Stimulants and the developing brain

Trends in Pharmacological Sciences, 2005
For almost 70 years, children have received stimulants for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder [ADHD (initially called hyperkinetic syndrome)], with little understanding of the long-term effects of these drugs on brain development.

Neurophysiology of Deep Brain Stimulation

2012
We review the data concerning the neurophysiology of deep brain stimulation (DBS) in humans, especially in reference to Parkinson's disease. The electric field generated by DBS interacts with the brain in complex ways, and several variables could influence the DBS-induced biophysical and clinical effects.

Stimulating brains, altering minds

Journal of Medical Ethics, 2009
Deep-brain stimulation has been used to treat advanced Parkinson disease and other neurological and psychiatric disorders that have not responded to other treatments. While deep-brain stimulation can modulate overactive or underactive regions of the brain and thereby improve motor function, it can also cause changes in a patient’s thought and ...
