DBS electrode

A DBS (Deep Brain Stimulation) electrode is a tiny device implanted in the brain to help control abnormal activity that causes neurological conditions like Parkinson’s disease. It consists of thin, insulated wires with small metal tips that deliver targeted electrical impulses to specific brain areas. These impulses help regulate abnormal signals, reducing symptoms such as tremors, stiffness, and movement difficulties. The electrode connects to a neurostimulator device, similar to a pacemaker, placed under the skin in the chest or abdomen, which can be adjusted externally to optimize treatment.
