Computational model unveils dynamics of Deep Brain Stimulation
Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) has been a longstanding adjunctive therapy for movement disorders like Parkinson’s disease, yet its precise mechanisms of action have remained elusive. In a recent study published in the journal Neuromodulation, Dr. Milad Lankarany and his team have introduced a computational model that accurately predicts the dynamics of neuronal activity during DBS across various frequencies.
