1. 1. Integration of Deep Brain Stimulation Modeling Tools

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för informationsteknologi

   Author : Lina Wilhelmina Sundqvist; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Deep brain stimulation is a treatment in which neural targets are stimulated by electrical pulses delivered through implanted leads to alleviate symptoms in certain neurological- and psychiatric disorders. To achieve a beneficial clinical outcome, adjusting the stimulation parameters is a crucial step, which, at present, is a tedious and difficult trial-and-error procedure. READ MORE

3. 2. EVOKED PHASE COHERENCE AS A BIOMARKER FOR ADAPTIVE NEUROMODULATION IN RAT MODEL OF PARKINSON'S DISEASE

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för psykologi

   Author : Love Zackrisson; [2023]
   Keywords : Adaptive; Closed Loop; Neuromodulation; Parkinson’s Disease; Rat model; 6-OHDA; ITC; Phase Coherence; Bayesian Model; Classifier; Spinal Cord Stimulation; Deep Brain Stimulation.; Adaptiv; Closed Loop; Neuromodulation; Parkinson’s Sjukdom; Råttmodell; 6-OHDA; ITC; Faskoherens; Bayesiansk Modell; Klassificerare; Ryggradsstimulering; Djup Hjärnstimulering.;

   Abstract : Neuromodulation, such as spinal cord stimulation (SCS) and deep brain stimulation (DBS), has been shown to modulate pathophysiological brain activity and provide symptomatic therapy for several neurological disorders, including Parkinson’s Disease. The effectiveness of this therapy could likely be further improved by neuromodulation that is adaptive, delivering stimulation more selectively, by monitoring a biomarker in recorded brain signals, which indicates the presence of a pathological state.

4. 3. Radiofrequency-Induced Heating of a Deep Brain Stimulator Lead inside TEM Cells and inside a 3T MR-Scanner

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Radiofysik

   Author : Haider Shaban; [2022]
   Keywords : Medical Physics; MRI; ;

   Abstract : The use of non-ionizing radiation in the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) made it a safer diagnostic technique in comparison to the X-ray imaging method. MRI can also produce soft tissue images with a very high contrast without contrast agent which is another advantage that made MRI an important imaging technique for studying the mechanism of the deep brain stimulation (DBS) and for targeting the desired regions in the brain that should be stimulated.

5. 4. Sex-differences in reported adverse side-effects caused by Deep Brain Stimulation therapy in the subthalamic nucleus

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

   Author : Lucas Werner; [2021]
   Keywords : Deep brain stimulation; subthalamic nucleus; sex-differences; STN-DBS; Parkinson s disease;

   Abstract : Parkinson’s disease is a common neurological disease which will progressively damagedopaminergic neurons in the brain. Later stages of the disease will result in death of theneurons. The diagnosis is often made with respect to the motor symptoms, which includetremors, bradykinesia, and rigidity. READ MORE

6. 5. Behavioral effects of deep brain stimulation in the subthalamic nucleus in obsessive compulsive disorder

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

   Author : Rebecka Antonsson; [2021]
   Keywords : Deep brain stimulation; subthalamic nucleus; obsessive compulsive disorder; behavioral side effects; zona incerta; inferior thalamic peduncle;

   Abstract : Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is one of the most disabling psychiatric disorder. About 10% of patients with OCD do not respond to pharmacological treatment. However, deep brain stimulation (DBS) has advanced as an alternative treatment. READ MORE
