Relazione
"This outstanding and comprehensive new book covers the rapidly growing use of deep brain stimulation (DBS) as well as superficial brain stimulation (SBS) for the treatment of neurological and psychiatric disorders.This is a first-rate book covering the emerging treatment technology of DBS and SBS. Any clinician who wants to keep abreast of these important treatment modalities should read this book. I highly recommend it." Rating: 3 Stars --Doody.com, March 21, 2014
"This volume is focused on brain stimulation, considering both deep and superficial versions. Among the topics are postoperative management of deep brain stimulation in Parkinson's disease, evaluating the potential of deep brain stimulation for treatment-resistant anorexia nervosa, treating depression with superficial brain stimulation methods, noninvasive brain stimulation in neuro-rehabilitation." --ProtoView.com, January 2014
