In a recent study published in the journal Nature Medicine, researchers evaluated the effectiveness and safety of deep brain stimulation (DBS) within the central lateral (CL) thalamic nuclei and the ...

Discover how groundbreaking insights into thalamic connectivity are reshaping treatment approaches for essential tremor, paving the way for personalized and more effective DBS therapies. Study: ...

In awake mice, researchers found that even low deep brain stimulation currents in the central thalamus could sometimes still cause electrographic seizures. The idea of electrically stimulating a brain ...

Researchers now show that stimulation of the anterior thalamus increases memory-related brain activity and restores memory function in rats with mammillothalamic tract (MTT) lesions. Their findings ...

Xavier Horton made history in February 2019 by becoming the first patient in Alabama and the 27th in the nation to undergo deep brain stimulation (DBS) as a treatment for epilepsy. Horton, who had ...

The vagus nerve stimulator (VNS) is a pacemaker-like device implanted in the chest that delivers intermittent electrical signals to the brain via an electrode wrapped around the left vagus nerve. The ...

Locating the centromedian nucleus (CM) for deep brain stimulation (DBS) is challenging with standard imaging. This review highlights advanced methods—high-resolution MRI, intraoperative ...

In hope of finding a current level that wouldn't trigger seizures, researchers progressively titrated current (horizontal axis). Here during titration (left panel), a mouse experienced a seizure (a ...
