Just reading a cool review paper on DBS

Just reading a cool review paper on DBS

Some quick points is that there are over 100,000 people that have had the DBS surgery completed.

Some targets:

  1. GPi - historically the first target
  2. STN first in 1994 but may have neurocognitive and psychiatric side effects so shifting back to GPi
  3. sCing - MDD
  4. nucleus basalis of Meynert (NBM) - relieve cognitive deficits in a case study of STN-induced dementia
  5. fornix - early Alzheimer's
