Deep Brain Stimulation explanation

Neuromodulation is one of the fastest growing areas of medicine. The term refers to therapies that restore or improve function in patients by correcting abnormal electrical activity in the brain. One of the most prominent neuromodulation therapies is deep brain stimulation (DBS). Over the past two decades, DBS has revolutionized the management of Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders. In the future, the field of neuromodulation is expected to enable similar breakthroughs in psychiatric disorders such as depression and in neurological disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease.
