Researchers have uncovered a fast-acting brain network that may determine how effectively deep brain stimulation improves Parkinson’s symptoms. Parkinson’s disease can make everyday movements slow, ...

Medicare covers deep brain stimulation (DBS) for eligible people diagnosed with essential tremors or idiopathic Parkinson’s disease to help reduce tremors and improve daily activities. To qualify for ...

Parkinson's Disease is a movement disorder that affects the nervous system. Deep Brain Stimulation surgery, or DBS, is ...

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) improves motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease by modulating a specific brain network that is mainly active in the fast beta frequency range (20 to 35 Hz). This conclusion ...

What Is Deep Brain Stimulation? The procedure involves implanting electrodes within areas of the brain for people with movement conditions. "The electrodes produce electrical impulses that affect ...

A new study led by Bucknell University Professor Karlo Malaga, biomedical engineering, has identified key insights into optimizing deep brain stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson's disease patients.

Deep brain stimulation can significantly reduce depressive symptoms in some individuals. Knowing what to expect before and after the procedure may help you determine if it’s right for you. Deep brain ...

Baylor College of Medicine received nearly $10 million in funding from the NIH BRAIN Initiative to study effective treatments for the depressive phase of bipolar disorder. In the span of five years, ...

A new international study points to a specific brain network as the core driver of Parkinson’s disease. Scientists found that ...

Personalized, adaptive deep brain stimulation (DBS) can enhance the control of motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD) compared with standard DBS, new research suggests. In a blinded randomized ...
