I haven't had a chance to read it yet, but that's exciting! Especially has they develop less invasive ways to do DBS like impacts. But priorities, I'm off to go swimming.

Interest information. So they know that the electrical stimulant to neurons in the lab, reduced their clumping. And the rats depended which area of the brain was stimulated. So when studying whether DBS reduces progression, this is helpful because it may depend on which brain area the DBS was directed towards.

The most important is to know to look for this kind of information in the future, if getting DBS installed.

Cool!! Thanks!

of course I can help. Where are you with this? Are you waiting for an operation or an assessment or are you just considering it?
