Deep brain stimulation (DBS) has been demonstrated to represent a targeted therapeutic alternative for treatment-resistant depression. In this study, we used the unpredictable chronic mild stress (UCMS) test to validate high-frequency electrical stimulation of the cingulate cortex (CC) as a possible...
Deep brain stimulation was subsequently turned off for 2 weeks, and then patients were randomized into the stimulation off-first or on-first group for the subsequent 6 weeks. After the first 6-week period, there was a 2-week washout period (DBS off); then patients were switched to the ...
A brain implant allowed people with head injuries to function again. The deep brain stimulation im plant, developed by researchers at Stanford University, aims to boost activity between the regions re-sponsible for consciousness learning, memory, thinking and problem solving.During the early trial, ...
Scientists at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) have found that deep brain stimulation (DBS) can greatly reduce the compulsion to use heroin in standard rat models of addiction. Rats that were used to takingheroin, and normally would have self-administered more and more of the drug, did ...
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a common surgical treatment forParkinson’s diseasesymptoms like stiffness, slow movements, and tremors. DBS will not cure the disease, but it may improve the symptoms thatmedicine for Parkinson’sis not adequately treating. It may result in more “on” time (a...
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is being investigated for a number of psychiatric indications, including posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Preclinical studies continue to be a cornerstone for the development of new DBS applications. We investigate whether DBS delivered to the infralimbic cortex (IL),...
In deep brain stimulation, electrodes are placed in a specific area of the brain depending on the symptoms being treated. The electrodes are placed on both the left and right sides of the brain through small holes made at the top of the skull. The electrodes are connected by long wires tha...
