Deep brain stimulation, artwork
MODEL RELEASED. Deep brain stimulation (DBS), cutaway computer artwork. This neurosurgical treatment involves the implantation of a brain pacemaker (under skin on shoulder), which sends electrical impulses to specific areas of the brain through an electrode (implanted below scalp). The device placed in the shoulder is known as implanted pulse generator (IPG). DBS was developed for the treatment of patients with Parkinsons disease, but is being investigated for use in other conditions

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork captures the intricate process of deep brain stimulation (DBS), a groundbreaking neurosurgical treatment. The print showcases a male patient undergoing this innovative therapy, which involves the implantation of a brain pacemaker beneath the skin on his shoulder. This pacemaker emits electrical impulses that are directed to specific areas of his brain through an electrode implanted below his scalp. Developed primarily for patients with Parkinson's disease, DBS is now being explored as a potential treatment for various other conditions. The illustration beautifully depicts the advanced technology involved in this procedure, highlighting its transformative impact on medicine and neuroscience. The image portrays an adult Caucasian man, emphasizing how DBS can benefit individuals from diverse backgrounds. It also underscores the importance of cutting-edge equipment and medical advancements in improving human health. With its detailed diagrammatic representation, this artwork provides valuable insight into the workings of DBS and its effects on our central nervous system. By stimulating targeted regions within the brain, this technique offers hope to countless patients seeking relief from neurological disorders. Science Photo Library has once again captured both scientific accuracy and artistic elegance in their portrayal of deep brain stimulation—a testament to their dedication to showcasing impactful images that bridge artistry and science.
