Directional Deep Brain Stimulation [PDF]

open access: yesNeurotherapeutics, 2019
Over the last years, deep brain stimulation has seen many technological innovations. New electrode designs allowing to direct the current flow not only in the vertical but also in the horizontal plane are the most recent. We summarize the concept of "directional deep brain stimulation" with its opportunities and challenges and the available study data ...

Neural plasticity in human brain connectivity: the effects of long term deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus in Parkinson's disease. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Positive clinical outcomes are now well established for deep brain stimulation, but little is known about the effects of long-term deep brain stimulation on brain structural and functional connectivity.

Discovering Themes in Deep Brain Stimulation Research Using Explainable Artificial Intelligence

open access: yesBiomedicines, 2023
Deep brain stimulation is a treatment that controls symptoms by changing brain activity. The complexity of how to best treat brain dysfunction with deep brain stimulation has spawned research into artificial intelligence approaches. Machine learning is a

Optogenetics and deep brain stimulation neurotechnologies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Brain neural network is composed of densely packed, intricately wired neurons whose activity patterns ultimately give rise to every behavior, thought, or emotion that we experience. Over the past decade, a novel neurotechnique, optogenetics that combines

Deep Brain Stimulation in Schizophrenia [PDF]

open access: yesActivitas Nervosa Superior, 2014
Abstract Deep brain stimulation (DBS) has successfully advanced treatment options of putative therapy-resistant neuropsychiatric diseases. Building on this strong foundation more and more mental disorders in the stadium of therapy-resistance are considered as possible indications for DBS.

Does Impaired Plantar Cutaneous Vibration Perception Contribute to Axial Motor Symptoms in Parkinson’s Disease? Effects of Medication and Subthalamic Nucleus Deep Brain Stimulation

open access: yesBrain Sciences, 2023
Objective: To investigate whether impaired plantar cutaneous vibration perception contributes to axial motor symptoms in Parkinson’s disease (PD) and whether anti-parkinsonian medication and subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) show ...

Neurosurgery for Psychopaths? An Ethical Analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Recent developments in neuroscience have inspired proposals to perform deep brain stimulation on psychopathic detainees. We contend that these proposals cannot meet important ethical requirements that hold for both medical research and therapy.

Sex Disparities in the Self-Evaluation of Subthalamic Deep Brain Stimulation Effects on Mood and Personality in Parkinson's Disease Patients

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2020
Changes in personality are one of the main concerns Parkinson's disease (PD) patients raise when facing the decision to undergo neurosurgery for deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN).

Neurosurgeons perspective on the shift towards earlier use of deep brain stimulation for Parkinson disease

open access: yesInterdisciplinary Neurosurgery, 2021
Background: The US Food and Drug Administration approved in 2015 the use of deep brain stimulation for Parkinson disease after “four years duration and with recent onset of motor complications”.
