Deep brain stimulation, illustration
Deep brain stimulation. Illustration of the neurosurgical treatment deep brain stimulation (DBS), which involves the implantation of a brain pacemaker (under skin on shoulder), which sends electrical impulses to specific areas of the brain through an electrode (implanted below scalp). The device placed in the shoulder is known as implanted pulse generator (IPG). DBS was developed for the treatment of patients with Parkinson's disease, but is being investigated for use in other conditions. Parkinson's disease treatment. Computer artwork of electrodes, which have been surgically implanted in the brain to treat the tremors caused by Parkinson's disease. This treatment is known as Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS). The electrodes provide continuous electrical stimulation, which blocks the signals that cause the tremors. The electrodes are controlled by a pulse generator unit fitted in the patient's chest (yellow, lower left).
