The Neuroscience of Deep Brain Stimulation: Research and Clinical Applications

Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is an established and successful treatment options for patients with movement disorders, including Parkinson's disease, dystonia, and some psychiatric conditions. Neuroscience of Deep Brain Stimulation: Research and Clinical Applications, begins by introducing readers to the foundational research and historical background of DBS, including developmental experimental models for movement and psychiatric disorders. The second section reviews various clinical applications including numerous and in-depth case studies. The final section identifies the mechanisms of action behind DBS, including cellular, metabolic and neurochemical mechanisms. Internationally contributed, this book will become the essential guide for anyone in the field of DBS.
