Towards a neurophysiological foundation for cognitive neuromodulation through deep brain stimulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
It may soon be possible to adapt the use of deep brain stimulation (DBS) technologies developed to treat movement disorders to improve the general cognitive function of brain-injured patients. We outline neurophysiological foundations for novel neuromodulation strategies to address these goals. Emphasis is placed on developing a rationale for targeting the intralaminar and related nuclei of the human thalamus for electrical stimulation. Recent anatomical and physiological studies are compared with original neurophysiological recordings obtained in an alert non-human primate. In this context we consider neuronal mechanisms that may underlie both clinical observations and cognitive rehabilitation maneuvers that provide theoretical support for open and closed-loop strategies to remediate acquired cognitive disability (ACD). © 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd.

Control of epileptic seizures by electrical low frequency deep brain stimulation: A review of probable mechanisms
Epilepsy is the most common neurological disease with no definitive method in treatment. Notably, the main way to treat and control epileptic seizures is drug therapy. However, about 20-30% of patients with epilepsy are drug resistant and require other therapeutic manners. Deep brain stimulation is a new therapeutic strategy for these patients. Conspicuously, there are no clear answers for basi...

Deep brain stimulation and vagal nerve stimulation are therapeutically effective in treating some neurological diseases and psychiatric disorders. Optogenetic-based neurostimulation approaches are capable of activating individual synapses and yield the highest spatial control over brain circuit activity. Both electrical and light-based neurostimulation methods require intrusive procedures such ...

UNLABELLED Chronic neuropathic pain is one of the most prevalent and debilitating disorders. Conventional medical management, however, remains frustrating for both patients and clinicians owing to poor specificity of pharmacotherapy, delayed onset of analgesia and extensive side effects. Neuromodulation presents as a promising alternative, or at least an adjunct, as it is more specific in induc...
متن کاملO10: Deep Brain Stimulation and Psychiatry
The use of deep brain stimulation in psychiatric disorders has received great interest owing to the small risk of the operation, the reversible nature of the technique, and the possibility of optimizing treatment postoperatively. Currently deep brain stimulation in psychiatry is investigated for obsessive-compulsive disorder, Gilles de la Tourette’s syndrome and major depression. This presentat...

Epidural or subdural electrodes are often used in humans in order to identify eloquent structures by stimulation or recording. Neurosurgeons are able to use the motor maps gathered more than 50 years ago by Penfield and Jasper (1954) for delineation of the functions of non-lesioned cortical tissue. These and other contributions have been made during surgical procedures in humans by either apply...
