Unlocking the Secrets of Deep Brain Stimulation Scientists at the University of Cologne have made a significant discovery in understanding how deep brain stimulation (DBS) works for patients with Parkinson's disease.
The team found that a specific brain network and its associated electrical rhythm are crucial for the benefits of DBS.
The researchers studied 50 patients, each with two brain hemispheres, by simultaneously recording their brain activity through implanted electrodes and magnetoencephalography (MEG).
