💨 Abstract

Deep brain stimulation (DBS), a surgical procedure that implants electrodes to send electrical pulses to the brain, has shown potential in managing Alzheimer’s disease symptoms. While effective for Parkinson’s disease, researchers are exploring if it can slow cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s. DBS is not a cure but may improve memory, reduce anxiety, and enhance attention. Early studies indicate promise, with some participants exhibiting better memory and increased brain activity in memory regions.
