    About this ebook

    The field of brain stimulation is expanding rapidly, with techniques such as DBS, TMS, and tDCS moving from the research community into clinical diagnosis and treatment. Clinical applications include treating disorders such as Parkinson's disease, dystonia, and even depression.

    The chapters of Brain Stimulation are written by leading international researchers and clinical specialists include coverage of techniques, modes of action and applications in physiology and therapeutics. The combination of research and clinical coverage will be of interest to neurologists, neurosurgeons, psychiatrists, neuroscientists, and health care workers.

    • A comprehensive introduction and overview of deep brain stimulation (DBS)
    • Coverage of DBS, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS)
