Questions people are asking

What is deep brain stimulation?

Deep brain stimulation is a neurosurgical procedure involving the implantation of a medical device called a neurostimulator, which sends electrical impulses to specific targets in the brain.

What is a traumatic brain injury?

A traumatic brain injury is a disruption in the normal function of the brain that can be caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head, or penetrating head injury.

What does low-frequency brain stimulation do?

Low-frequency brain stimulation is a type of brain stimulation that uses electrical currents at a lower frequency to modulate brain activity.
