Computational models help understand deep brain stimulation (DBS) by simulating electric current spread. This research reviews modeling approaches to better predict DBS therapeutic effects in neurological disorders.

Area of Science:

  • Computational neuroscience
  • Biomedical engineering
  • Neurological disorder therapeutics

Background:

  • Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is increasingly used for neurological disorders, but its mechanisms remain poorly understood.
  • Measuring electric current spread in the brain in vivo during DBS is challenging, hindering mechanistic understanding.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review recent computational models simulating electric current and field distribution in 3D space for DBS.
  • To estimate the brain volume modulated by therapeutic DBS using these computational models.
  • To emphasize the importance of modeling the electrode-brain interface for current transmission.

Main Methods:

  • Review of structural modeling approaches: target-specific, instrumentation, and electrode-brain interface modeling.
