Hippocampal deep brain stimulation prevented seizures in mouse models of temporal lobe epilepsy. Read More
Spinal cord stimulation significantly decreased pain and reduced motor symptoms associated with Parkinson's disease, both as a singular therapy and for those who deep brain stimulation proved ineffective. Read More
Targeted deep brain stimulation may help treat obsessive-compulsive disorder. Read More
Researchers use optogenetic based deep brain stimulation to help treat motor dysfunction in animal models of Parkinson's disease. The new technique provides insights into why DBS works and ways in which it can be improved on a patient-by-patient basis. Read More
Long term outcome data of patients with treatment-resistant depression found subcallosal cingulate deep brain stimulation (SCC DBS) was both effective at relieving symptoms and safe. Read More
Sweat response could make brain stimulators more responsive for those with PTSD and other psychological disorders. Read More
Researchers discuss the potential of deep brain stimulation in the treatment of Parkinson's disease, OCD, Tourette syndrome and other disorders. Read More
Deep brain stimulation improves performance on cognitive control tasks and increases theta oscillations in the medial, and lateral prefrontal cortex. Read More
Deep brain stimulation provides a significant reduction in the symptoms of depression for a number of patients with a treatment-resistant form of the disorder. Read More
Researchers report EEG technology has the ability to study activity of areas deep inside the brain, such as the thalamus and nucleus accumbens. The findings will help shed new light on disorders that affect these brain regions, such as Parkinson's disease and OCD. Read More
Researchers have identified a specific pathway between the hypothalamus and habenula that controls feelings of aversion. Read More
Researchers have developed a neurofeedback system which allows Parkinson's patients to voluntarily control beta wave activity in the subthalamic nucleus. Read More
