One of the most promising aspects of this work is the ability to individualize stimulation based on each patient’s own brain anatomy. That level of precision could become inc ...

Persons with Parkinson's disease increasingly lose their mobility over time and are eventually unable to walk. Hope for these patients rests on deep brain stimulation, also known as a brain pacemaker.

When most people hear the words “brain surgery,” they recoil. I did too.

Adaptive deep-brain stimulation (DBS) using personalized neural signals improved Parkinson's motor symptoms in a pilot study. Adaptive DBS reduced the duration of symptoms by about 50% compared with ...

Brain stimulation that rapidly adjusts in real-time can dramatically reduce Parkinson's symptoms, a small, early trial suggests. The device in question, described in a paper published Monday (Aug. 19) ...
