Research on Paralyzed Patients Regaining Movement Through Deep Brain Stimulation

New research suggests that paralyzed patients could regain some degree of movement, including the ability to walk, through deep brain stimulation therapy targeting the lateral hypothalamus.

New Brain Stimulation Study for Cognitive Disorders

Researchers have found a new way to target brain disorders using deep brain stimulation to pinpoint dysfunctions in the brain responsible for Parkinson’s disease, dystonia, OCD, and Tourette's syndrome, potentially leading to new treatments.

Deep Brain Stimulation for Severe Depression Treatment

Deep brain stimulation, similar to a pacemaker for the brain, is being tested as a treatment for severe depression. The treatment involves implanting electrodes in the brain connected to a device under the skin. The therapy has shown promising results but also faces skepticism and concerns from some doctors.
