Faroogji, why don't you ask Alfonso to produce the data/links that shows DBS is more effective and safer than FUS?

the biggest disadvantage of FUS is that it is irreversible in case of any adverse outcome

Do you believe DBS is reversible?

I didn't know that FUS had the same or worse complications than DBS???

FUS sounds like a better choice to me. Having an infection in your brain can do a lot of damage.
