  • Publication number: 20240170146
    Abstract: Methods and systems are described for providing deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subcallosal cingulate region (SCC) to provide symptom relief in patients with treatment-resistant depression (TRD). The DBS devices may enable chronic electrophysiology recording to deliver SCC DBS therapy. One or more machine-learning models may identify SCC LFP changes that indicate the patient's current clinical state. The clinical state is distinct from acute transient stimulation effects, is sensitive to DBS stimulation adjustments, and accurately captures individual differences in recovery trajectory.

  • Patent number: 10159836
    Abstract: Example apparatus and methods plan and control neuro-modulation of a distributed multi-region network in a brain. A location for a deep brain stimulation (DBS) electrode that participates in activating a combination of white matter pathways associated with the network is selected. The location is selected based on a pre-implantation image of the brain and a probabilistic activation model of the network. An initial stimulation parameter for DBS to be applied through the DBS electrode is selected based on a post-implantation image of the brain and the probabilistic activation model of the network. A modified stimulation parameter for DBS being applied through the DBS electrode is selected based on the initial stimulation parameter, a local field potential measured in the distributed multi-region network in response to DBS applied using the initial stimulation parameter, the probabilistic activation model of the distributed multi-region network, and the post-implantation image of the brain.

  • Publication number: 20070005115
    Abstract: The present application involves a method and a system for using electrical stimulation and/or chemical stimulation to treat depression. More particularly, the method comprises surgically implanting an electrical stimulation lead and/or catheter that is in communication with a predetermined site which is coupled to a signal generator and/or infusion pump that release either an electrical signal and/or a pharmaceutical resulting in stimulation of the predetermined site thereby treating the mood and/or anxiety.
