Review of deep brain stimulation micro-electrodes

Abstract

Currently, deep brain stimulation (DBS) is one of the most effective surgical treatments of treating serious stubborn resistance movement disorders (such as Parkinson's disease, essential tremor and dystonia, etc.). The nerve probe has been greatly favored by the authorities and scientists with the respect to the role it acted as the main brain stimulation tool. This article mainly introduces the materials of brain stimulated micro-electrode, the matched specifications and the evaluation on the compound functions in the developing course. The application prosperity and its development trendy will also be included with the intention to help people gain more systematic acknowledgement on the electrodes for deep brain stimulation. © (2012) Trans Tech Publications.
