electrical brain stimulation

Electrical brain stimulation involves delivering controlled electrical signals to specific areas of the brain to influence neural activity. This technique can be used for therapeutic purposes, such as reducing symptoms of depression or Parkinson’s disease, or for research to understand brain functions. The stimulation is typically administered through implanted electrodes or external devices, and it modulates neural circuits by either increasing or decreasing activity. By targeting precise regions, electrical stimulation can help restore balance in disrupted brain networks, offering new possibilities for treatment and scientific discovery without major surgery or medication in some cases.
