Early DBS Protects Cognition in Genetic Parkinson’s
Summary: A multi-center international study reveals that the timing of Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) surgery is the deciding factor in preserving cognitive function for Parkinson’s disease patients carrying a GBA1…
DBS Remodels White Matter Paths to Reverse Depression
Summary: A new study uncovered the first direct evidence that deep brain stimulation (DBS) physically remodels white matter pathways and rewires large-scale neural networks. The study addresses a historic diagnostic…
Can Deep Brain Stimulation Unlock Treatment-Resistant Depression?
Summary: For approximately 30% of people living with depression, standard medications and therapy simply do not work—a condition known as treatment-resistant depression. Researchers are now investigating Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)…
