Deep Brain Stimulation: STN-DBS

This lecture covers the principles and applications of Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) with a focus on Subthalamic Nucleus (STN) stimulation. It discusses electrode configurations, stimulation parameters, implantation surgery, therapeutic effects, and neural mechanisms of STN-DBS. The lecture also explores the anatomy, function, and physiology of the STN, as well as the network effects beyond the basal ganglia. Various electrode types, pulse generators, and current research in DBS technology are presented, highlighting the challenges and advancements in the field.
