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.

Deep Brain Stimulation in Schizophrenia [PDF]
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.

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 ...

Deep brain stimulation for dystonia [PDF]
The few controlled studies that have been carried out have shown that bilateral internal globus pallidum stimulation is a safe and long-term effective treatment for hyperkinetic disorders. However, most recent published data on deep brain stimulation (DBS) for dystonia, applied to different targets and patients, are still mainly from uncontrolled case ...

Deep brain stimulation for dystonia [PDF]
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an effective surgical treatment for medication-refractory movement disorders, and has been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration for treatment of dystonia. The success of DBS in the treatment of dystonia depends on our understanding of the anatomy and physiology of this disorder and close ...

Deep Brain Stimulation for Epilepsy [PDF]
Many patients who suffer from medically refractory epilepsy are not candidates for resective brain surgery. Success of deep brain stimulation (DBS) in relieving a significant number of symptoms of various movement disorders paved the way for investigations into this modality for epilepsy.

Intraoperative monitoring (IOM) may generally be separated into two categories: (1) evaluating real-time data to detect adverse changes in the nervous system giving the surgical team a chance either to reverse or to stop what is causing the change; (2) evaluating real-time data to help determine related physiological localization or guidance for the ...
