  3. Neurological disorders such as
    Parkinson's disease, essential tremor,
    and dystonia result from abnormal
    electrical signals in the brain. These
    conditions can severely impact a person's
    motor control, coordination, and overall
    quality of life. Conventional treatments
    often fail to provide long-term relief. This
    slide will delve into the challenges faced
    by patients and the need for innovative
    approaches like DBS.

  4. DBS involves the surgical implantation of
    electrodes in specific brain regions
    responsible for motor control. These
    electrodes emit electrical impulses that
    modulate abnormal signals, effectively
    restoring normal brain activity. The
    procedure requires precise targeting and
    careful adjustment of stimulation
    parameters. This slide will explore the
    scientific principles underlying DBS and its
    mechanism of action.
