A new study published in Brain Communications has uncovered abnormal brain wave activity in individuals with Alzheimer’s disease, suggesting a potential new biomarker for tracking the condition ...

For severe depression, DBS specifically targets the subcallosal cingulate cortex and other areas involved in mood regulation, aiming to correct abnormal brain activity and improve symptoms.

The system is programmed to respond to and manage abnormal brain signals that contribute to involuntary muscle movements in Parkinson’s, which previous deep brain stimulation systems could not do.
