How does your brain work?• Brain cells communicate by electrical
signals• In certain diseases, these signals can
be abnormal resulting in misinformation• This misinformation can manifest as
tremor, difficulty moving, seizures, etc.

Neuromodulation defined…
• vs. Traditional Neurosurgery= direct application of technologies to NS, for amelioration of function
• Virtues:Minimally invasiveNo removal/severing connectionsCan be turned on, off; modifiableWindow on nervous system

What is Deep Brain Stimulation?
![Page 6: Neuromodulation for Neurological & Neuropsychiatric Disease](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081412/629af1fd79119663903e0b44/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Evidence:
• Randomized trial of STN DBS+meds vs. best medical therapy for PD
(N=156) QOL & mUPDRS; 6m F/UDBS better
• Deuschl, et al, German PSG; NEJM 355(9):896; 2006
• Randomized controlled trial of DBS vs. sham stimulation for primary dystonia
(N=40) BFMDRS; 3m F/UDBS better
• Kupsch et al, German DBS-SG; NEJM 355(19):1978; 2006

What’s New in DBS?• Controlled studies of existing therapies
Optimal target for each disorder?• STN vs. GPi for PD
• Novel technologies“Closed-loop” feedback systems
• Sensing Electrode + Stimulation or Drug Delivery
• Novel applications of existing technologies• Epilepsy, depression, Tourette, OCD• PPN for gait & akinesia in PD
• Modifications of existing technologies

Novel Technologies
• “Smart” Systems for On-Demand PacingNeuropace™
• Medically-refractory epilepsy• Implantation of depth & cortical electrodes• Detects abnormal brain activity• Responds by delivering stimulation prior to sz-onset• Multi-center, FDA-approved, industry-sponsored
• Such a closed-loop stimulation mayImprove results by delivering therapy only when neededDecrease demands on stimulation systems
• Q: Development of seizure prediction algorithms?• Q: Intervene with stimulation or drug seizure aborted?

Epilepsy:
• Abnormal synchronization of brain cells’electrical signals Seizure
• Recurrent Seizures = Epilepsy• 3Million people in U.S.
200,000 new cases/yr. in U.S.

Importance of Mechanistic Approach:
• Neural correlates of neuropsychiatricdisorders not yet well understood
• This understanding is critical for refining therapies & determining patient populations who will benefit

Converging Lines of Evidence:
• Disease characteristics• Lesion data: surgical (historical)• Behavioral changes from DBS for PD• Current DBS trials—CNS “switch”• Imaging: anat, fMRI, PET, SPECT,dtMRI• Animal Models
Implicates C-BG-Thal-C circuitry

Neuropsychiatric Disorders Currently Treated:
• Tx-refractory Major Depression (TRD)• Depression: 121 million people worldwide• 20% TRD
• OCD• 3.3 million in U.S.• Up to 40% treatment-refractory
• Tourette Syndrome• 2-3% of U.S. population
![Page 14: Neuromodulation for Neurological & Neuropsychiatric Disease](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081412/629af1fd79119663903e0b44/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Anat/Physiol Basis for TRD:• Unlikely to be a single gene, neurotransmitter, or
brain region problem• Believed to be a “network” problem, driven by
genetics & environment• Functional Imaging:
Cg25 involved in acute sadness & anti-depressant therapy effect (SSRI; ECT, etc)
• Anatomic Connections of Cg25:To BS, hypothalamus, & insula
• Areas involved in circadian rhythm (sleep, appetite, libido)Reciprocal connections to OFC, MPF, ACC
• Areas involved in motivation, reward, learning & memory

Basis for DBS for TRD:
• Sx of severe depression can be reversibly induced by STN DBS in PD
(Bejjani et al, NEJM 340:1476; ’99)
• focal brain stim can alter limbic system function:

Conc: Treatment-Refractory Depression
• Cg25 DBS results in sx remission w/normalization of CBF
• Given that TRD is a network and not a single target, intervention at other sites on the “network” should result in sximprovement.
