Neurosurgery for Psychopaths? An Ethical Analysis [PDF]
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.

Functional imaging of deep brain stimulation in dystonia: a review
Much remains to be learned about the mechanism of benefit of deep brain stimulation in movement disorders in general and dystonia specifically. A full accounting of the pathophysiology of dystonia additionally remains unclear.

Paradoxical augmented relapse in alcohol-dependent rats during deep-brain stimulation in the nucleus accumbens [PDF]
Case reports indicate that deep-brain stimulation in the nucleus accumbens may be beneficial to alcohol-dependent patients. The lack of clinical trials and our limited knowledge of deep-brain stimulation call for translational experiments to validate ...

Adaptive Deep Brain Stimulation for sleep stage targeting in Parkinson’s disease
Background: Sleep dysfunction is disabling in people with Parkinson’s disease and is linked to worse motor and non-motor outcomes. Sleep-specific adaptive Deep Brain Stimulation has the potential to target pathophysiologies of sleep.

Neuroimaging and Deep Brain Stimulation [PDF]
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a new neurosurgical method principally used for the treatment of Parkinson disease (PD). Many new applications of DBS are under development, including the treatment of intractable psychiatric diseases. Brain imaging is used for the selection of patients for DBS, to localize the target nucleus, to detect complications ...
