Deep brain stimulation and epilepsy

Deep brian stimulation has been used effectively for many years in patients suffering from Parkinson's disease. Now, we are seeing neurologists and neurosurgeons using electric pulse generators (that can be compared in one sense to the cardiac pacemaker) to block abnormal activity. With promising research results that show how electric pulses implanted deep in the brain can affect neurocircuitry and help stop oncoming seizures, the authors of this book have summarized all of the available literature in one volume. It should provide the epileptologist and neurosurgeon with a solid background in deep brain stimulation and its application to epilepsy.
