Brain pacemaker, artwork
Brain pacemaker. Computer artwork showing a deep brain stimulation (DBS) electrode (right and inset) implanted in a persons brain, with a control box located on the persons chest (lower left). Electrodes like this are known as brain pacemakers. They are implanted in the cerebral lobes and used in neurosurgical treatment to send impulses to specific parts of the brain. DBS was developed for the treatment of Parkinsons disease, but is being investigated for use in other conditions such as chronic pain and major depressive disorder, where stimulation of under or over-active areas can relieve symptoms

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate details of a brain pacemaker, a groundbreaking device used in neurosurgical treatments. The computer-generated image depicts a deep brain stimulation (DBS) electrode implanted within the cerebral lobes of an individual's brain. A control box is strategically placed on their chest, allowing for precise regulation and monitoring. Originally developed to combat Parkinson's disease, this cutting-edge technology has expanded its horizons and is now being explored for potential applications in chronic pain management and major depressive disorder. By delivering targeted electrical impulses to specific regions of the brain, these brain pacemakers offer hope in alleviating symptoms associated with under or overactive areas. The fusion of artistry and scientific precision in this illustration highlights the advancements made in 21st-century medicine. It serves as a reminder that our understanding of neurological conditions continues to evolve alongside technological innovations. With its emphasis on detail and accuracy, this artwork underscores the crucial role played by neurology, neuroscience, and neurosurgery in improving patient outcomes. As we delve deeper into unlocking the mysteries of the human mind, such illustrations serve as powerful visual aids for both medical professionals and patients alike. Science Photo Library once again demonstrates its commitment to providing thought-provoking imagery that bridges science with artistic expression – offering us a glimpse into the future possibilities within psychological treatment through innovative devices like DBS electrodes.
