Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) requires an implanted device, typically a small electrode that is surgically placed into specific regions of the brain. The electrode is connected to a device called a neurostimulator, which is implanted under the skin of the chest or abdomen. The neurostimulator sends electrical impulses to the brain to help regulate abnormal activity and alleviate symptoms of conditions such as Parkinson's disease or essential tremor.
