Parkinson's disease brain stimulation electrodes. Coloured frontal X-ray of the head and chest of a 60-year-old man with Parkinson's disease who is being treated using deep brain stimulation (DBS) electrodes. This neurosurgical treatment involves the implantation of electrodes in deep areas of the brain, linked through the scalp (top) to wires (down right) leading to a pacemaker implanted below the skin (here, over the ribcage). This sends electrical impulses to specific areas of the brain, helping to negate and control the effects of the disease. | |
