Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery - Does the electrocuted brain get new skills?

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a surgical procedure which involves implanting stimulator electrodes into certain places in the brain in order to treat illnesses such as Parkinson's disease, tremor and dystonia, major depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder etc. Although new research proves that this stimulation technique could enhance both spatial and learning memory, as well as alleviate the effects of the Alzheimer's disease, some other medical experts opt for a further research to confirm its efficacy, as the DBS could also lead to serious complications and side effects. Learn more about the deep brain stimulation, and its clinical applications in this book.
