Parkinsons Deep Brain Stimulation
An individual with a severe tremor from Parkinson #39;s disease demonstrates the effectiveness of Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS). DBS is the implantation of electrodes into the brain along with a pacemaker-like controller and battery which is implanted in the chest. For Parkinson #39;s disease, the electrodes typically target the subthalamic nucleus, an area of the basal ganglia, which is involved in motor selection and even cognitive/emotional control. The settings for the device can be manually adjusted by the patient. This demonstration shows what a dramatic improvement the intervention can have. This video is not my own; thank you very much to the patient and research personnel that contributed it.From:Mike ClaffeyViews:2 0ratingsTime:02:07More inScience Technology
