Hi,
What is DBS in the first place? Is it anything like trancerebral electrical stimulation?
regards

yes if you like .... anyway, it means deep brain stimulation and it is a surgery practice for complicated Parkinson disease cases. It consists of implanting an electric stimulator in the sub-talamic nucleus.
