Neural basis of deep brain stimulation
This article explores the neural basis of Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) and its applications in treating neurological and psychiatric disorders. It also discusses the challenges and limitations of DBS and explores potential future research directions. DBS involves the implantation of a brain pacemaker that sends electrical impulses to specific regions in the brain to alleviate symptoms associated with various neurological disorders. Researchers use various techniques to identify the neural circuits involved in the procedure. Through these techniques, several areas of the brain that are involved in DBS have been identified. The article provides an overview of the critical terms and concepts associated with the procedure and outlines the scope of the post. Moreover, the article analyzes the background of DBS, provides examples and case studies, highlights potential applications, and discusses the challenges and limitations associated with the procedure.
