Default New "smart" DBS on the horizon

There is always hope...

Researchers have joined through The Mayo Clinic to develop a "smart DBS" that measures neurotransmitter levels and responds accordingly. This would be a huge advance....

The only other treatment that might be available to work on par but be much less invasive is the GAD therapy being pursued by Neurologix.


Thanks for this as my doctor seems to think that I am pretty close to being DBS material. Ugh.
