DBS involving the implantation of tiny electrodes into specific points in the brain that are attached to an external “battery pack.” Stimulation of the subthalamic nuclei in patients with Parkinson’s causes immediate and significant improvements in tremor. Theoretically, DBS could be used for a variety of medical conditions that can be linked to over- or under-activity at a specific location within the brain.
