Deep Brain Stimulation 

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) for motor disorders such as Parkinson’s Disease (PD) and Essential Tremor has advanced significantly with the introduction of directional DBS leads and pulse generators capable of sensing brain activity. Our research effort, supported by NIH 1R01NS124650, studies the electrophysiological patterns in different Parkinson phenotypes, with the goal of personalizing DBS therapy for the specific symptoms a given patient experiences.
