Obtaining prefrontal cortex biopsies during deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery in living patients does not increase the risk of adverse events or cognitive decline compared to standard DBS ...

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) has been suggested to be a safe and effective therapeutic option for drug addiction. Although sustained abstinence is better predicted by at least 5 years of drug-free ...

An ultrasound device that can precisely stimulate areas deep in the brain without surgery has been developed by researchers from UCL and the University of Oxford, opening up new possibilities for ...

Deep brain stimulation is an emerging treatment for severe depression, but exactly how it alters the brain to relieve ...

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery targeting the subthalamic nucleus (STN) is an established stereotactic neurosurgical intervention for the treatment of motor symptoms in Parkinson’s disease (PD).

DEEP brain stimulation may improve quality of life in treatment-refractory OCD, but social and independence challenges often persist after surgery. New mixed-methods research suggests deep brain ...

The brain functions thanks to electrochemical signals circulating through vast neural networks. In certain conditions, these rhythms become too weak, too strong or poorly synchronised. Delivering ...

A study by UNIGE, in collaboration with ETH Zurich, has significantly improved the accuracy of a noninvasive brain ...

Tardive dyskinesia (TD) can be addressed by the right intervention even in severe, refractory cases. These cases, characterized by involuntary muscle movements, are most often caused by antipsychotics ...
