Description
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 is an essential guide for anyone in the field of DBS.- Reviews the development of experimental models for movements and psychiatric disorders- Identifies brain pathologies that Deep Brain Stimulation has revolutionized- Summarizes major technological developments for Deep Brain Stimulation and how they have adapted to patients' needs, including Epilepsy, Tourette's Syndrome, and Depression
