As part of Brain Awareness Week, icyou is bringing you videos that highlight research and treatment for the body's central computer. The Detroit Medical Center recently uploaded this video describing “deep brain stimulation.”

This minimally invasive procedure connects electrodes to the brain and places a pacemaker-like device under the skin. When activated, electrical impulses minimize shaking due to “dyskinesia syndrome” in patients with Parkinson’s disease. ~ Detroit Medical Center
