Deep Brain Stimulation of the Pedunculopontine Nucleus for Alzheimer's Disease

The DBS implantation procedure targeting the PPN involves a neurosurgical operation performed under general anesthesia. During the procedure, thin electrodes are implanted in the PPN with the aid of advanced pre-operative imaging (MRI and CT scan) to confirm precise targeting. This device generates and transmits electrical impulses to the PPN, which can be adjusted to optimize therapeutic outcomes.
