Illustration of the deep brain stimulation (DBS) treatment for Parkinson's disease. DBS which involves the implantation of a brain pacemaker (behind ear), which sends electrical impulses to specific areas of the brain through an electrode (implanted below scalp). Here, it is targeting the globus pallidus. The electrodes provide continuous electrical stimulation, which blocks the signals that cause the tremors of Parkinson's disease. | |
