Better 3D Imaging Aids Surgery for Deep Brain Stimulation
This is video from a Parkinson’s patient who underwent Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS), a treatment that uses electricity to control the brain. Essentially, they implant electrodes in a specific region of the brain and the electrodes are tied to a pacemaker placed near the patient’s heart. He can turn on and off the stimulation, and control the amount of electricity that gets to the brain.
