Sputter deposition of Iridium and Iridium Oxide for stimulation electrode coatings
Stimulation electrodes are used to electrically excite nerve cells, for instance in heart pace makers. In order to evoke an action potential in neuronal cells, a certain amount of charge needs to be delivered to the tissue. For safe stimulation, the electrode has to be capable of delivering this …

Non-invasive measurement of trigeminal nerve somatosensory evoked potentials
… and artifact, cortical recording sites, stimulation electrode design and placement were explored. Statistically significant differences in amplitude of TSEP waveform components at 13, 19 and 27 ms between uninjured and whiplashed participants were noted. Increased stimulus intensity in …

Investigations of neuronal network responses to electrical stimulation in murine spinal cultures.
… in such networks via conditioning electrical stimulation has received much less experimental attention. Two different patterns of electrical stimulation were used to enhance or depress the level of spontaneous activity in spinal cord cultures. High-frequency stimulation (HFS), a method …

Mapping the substrate for brain stimulation reward : new approaches to an old problem
A major goal for research on brain stimulation reward (BSR) is the identification of the directly-activated ("first-stage") neurons subserving the powerfully rewarding effect produced by electrical stimulation of the medial forebrain bundle (MFB). This objective was addressed by combining …

Ermittlung der tatsächlich erzielten Elektrodenpositionen nach tiefer Hirnstimulation mittels frühem postoperativem 3D CT
… (ET) can in part be treated with deep brain stimulation (DBS). The aim of the present study was to show whether it is possible to locate DBS electrodes implanted into the human brain accurately in an early postoperative 3D-CT that was fused to preoperative planning data. Preoperative …

Analysis and Design of Electrodes for Deep Brain Stimulation
<p>Deep brain stimulation (DBS) electrodes are intended to stimulate specific areas of the brain to treat movement disorders including essential tremor, Parkinson's disease and dystonia. An important goal in the design of next generation DBS electrodes is to minimize the power needed to stimulate …
