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.
