Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is a clinically suitable technique for the treatment of the Parkinson's disease. Recently, also other neurological disorders such as Tourette syndrome, obsessive-compulsive disorder, epilepsy are being to be treated with DBS. However, the debate on its therapeutic mechanisms of action is still open. In order to a better understanding of such mechanisms, in this work the attention is focused on the DBS micro-stimulation. Indeed, a micro electrodes registration and stimulation is a fundamental step, during the surgical phase, to optimize the technique in terms of DBS lead positioning and DBS signal parameters. In this paper a dosimetric analysis with micro electrodes has been carried out, showing a more focused distribution of the electrical potential induced in the neuroanatomical tissues and changes of the excited/inhibited regions, respect to a macro electrodes stimulation.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008279 Magnetic Resonance Imaging Non-invasive method of demonstrating internal anatomy based on the principle that atomic nuclei in a strong magnetic field absorb pulses of radiofrequency energy and emit them as radiowaves which can be reconstructed into computerized images. The concept includes proton spin tomographic techniques.

D009771 Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder An anxiety disorder characterized by recurrent, persistent obsessions or compulsions. Obsessions are the intrusive ideas, thoughts, or images that are experienced as senseless or repugnant. Compulsions are repetitive and seemingly purposeful behavior which the individual generally recognizes as senseless and from which the individual does not derive pleasure although it may provide a release from tension.

D010300 Parkinson Disease A progressive, degenerative neurologic disease characterized by a TREMOR that is maximal at rest, retropulsion (i.e. a tendency to fall backwards), rigidity, stooped posture, slowness of voluntary movements, and a masklike facial expression. Pathologic features include loss of melanin containing neurons in the substantia nigra and other pigmented nuclei of the brainstem. LEWY BODIES are present in the substantia nigra and locus coeruleus but may also be found in a related condition (LEWY BODY DISEASE, DIFFUSE) characterized by dementia in combination with varying degrees of parkinsonism.

D005879 Tourette Syndrome A neuropsychological disorder related to alterations in DOPAMINE metabolism and neurotransmission involving frontal-subcortical neuronal circuits. Both multiple motor and one or more vocal tics need to be present with TICS occurring many times a day, nearly daily, over a period of more than one year. The onset is before age 18 and the disturbance is not due to direct physiological effects of a substance or another medical condition. The disturbance causes marked distress or significant impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning.
