Deep brain stimulation

About speaker:

Prof. Alim Louis Benabid discusses deep brain stimulation at large and in great detail. Furthermore, he elucidates how it was discovered during a treatment for Parkinson's and pinpoints the many potential opportunities of its application to other neurological disorders, such as anorexia nervosa and depression.
Alim-Louis Benabid humbly reminds us of the hidden value of serendipity within scientific discovery and addresses the nature and importance of safe practice.
