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 ...

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 ...

Locating the centromedian nucleus (CM) for deep brain stimulation (DBS) is challenging with standard imaging. This review highlights advanced methods—high-resolution MRI, intraoperative ...

The vagus nerve stimulator (VNS) is a pacemaker-like device implanted in the chest that delivers intermittent electrical signals to the brain via an electrode wrapped around the left vagus nerve. The ...

Deep brain stimulation may provide immediate improvement in arm and hand strength and function weakened by traumatic brain injury or stroke. Deep brain stimulation may provide immediate improvement in ...

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 ...
