Future of DBS - miniature technology ! : The new electrode would measure levels of neurotransmitters, chemicals that help carry signals in the brain. The researchers hope this would help doctors target the placement of the device more precisely, since different parts of the brain have different levels of neurotransmitters. This chemical detection would also allow the device to turn the electricity on and off as needed to maximize its effectiveness. The researchers also aim to make the brain stimulation devices much smaller so they could be implanted in the scalp.
