Discover how groundbreaking insights into thalamic connectivity are reshaping treatment approaches for essential tremor, paving the way for personalized and more effective DBS therapies. Study: ...

In awake mice, researchers found that even low deep brain stimulation currents in the central thalamus could sometimes still cause electrographic seizures. The idea of electrically stimulating a brain ...

Deep brain stimulation may provide immediate improvement in arm and hand strength and function weakened by traumatic brain injury or stroke, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine researchers ...

Researchers have found a new way to more precisely detect and monitor brain cell activity during deep brain stimulation, a common treatment for movement disorders such as Parkinson's disease and ...

The idea of electrically stimulating a brain region called the central thalamus has gained traction among researchers and clinicians because it can help arouse subjects from unconscious states induced ...

Medicare covers specific types of deep brain stimulation (DBS), such as thalamic VIM DBS for essential tremor and Parkinson's tremor, as well as STN and GPi DBS for Parkinson's disease. To be eligible ...

In hope of finding a current level that wouldn't trigger seizures, researchers progressively titrated current (horizontal axis). Here during titration (left panel), a mouse experienced a seizure (a ...

Mayo Clinic researchers have found a new way to more precisely detect and monitor brain cell activity during deep brain stimulation, a common treatment for movement disorders such as Parkinson's ...
