Abstract:Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a neurosurgical procedure that depends on high-accuracy targeting of structures to implant electrodes within the brain. The positioning of these electrodes in the brain determines the long-term efficacy of treating diseases such as Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, or dystonia. Misplaced electrodes in DBS can lead to poor efficacy and stimulation-induced side effects. Widespread targeting errors and variability have been published throughout the literature. As such, improve… Show more
