Brain Imaging01:14

Brain Imaging

775
Brain imaging technologies provide critical insights into both the structure and function of the human brain, enabling medical professionals and researchers to diagnose, study, and treat neurological disorders or psychiatric disorders more effectively.
These technologies include computerized axial tomography (CAT or CT scans), positron-emission tomography (PET scans),  magnetic resonance imaging (MRI),  functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and Transcranial Magnetic...

Electroconvulsive Therapy01:30

Electroconvulsive Therapy

1.4K
Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), or shock therapy, remains a critical biomedical intervention for severe, treatment-resistant depression. While its origins can be traced back to Hippocrates' observations that malaria-induced convulsions alleviated mental illness, modern ECT has evolved significantly from its earlier, more primitive applications. First introduced in 1938 by Ugo Cerletti and his colleagues, ECT involves inducing controlled seizures using electrical currents. In its early...

Psychosurgery

2.0K
Psychosurgery, the surgical alteration or permanent removal of brain tissue to alleviate severe psychological conditions, stands as one of the most radical and controversial treatments in the history of mental health care. Its development and application have evolved significantly, marked by dramatic shifts in scientific understanding and ethical perspectives.
Historical Development of Psychosurgery
In the 1930s, Portuguese neurologist Antonio Egas Moniz introduced a surgical procedure designed...

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Psychiatry
    • Neurosurgery

    Background:

    • Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an established treatment for therapy-refractory obsessive-compulsive disorders (OCD).
    • Experimental applications of DBS are being explored for depression, Tourette syndrome, addiction, eating disorders, PTSD, autism, and schizophrenia.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the effects and mechanisms of DBS in psychiatric treatment.
    • To explore future opportunities for DBS in psychiatry.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review conducted using PubMed.

    Main Results:

    • DBS demonstrates effectiveness and safety in treating therapy-refractory OCD.
    • Encouraging results observed in refractory depression and Tourette syndrome warrant further investigation.
    • DBS impacts brain networks relevant to a broad spectrum of psychiatric symptoms.

    Conclusions:

    • DBS should be considered for therapy-refractory OCD.
    • DBS offers rapid and significant improvements in mood, anxiety, and behavior for various refractory patient groups.
    • Advancing DBS in psychiatry requires a deeper understanding of brain network-psychiatric dysfunction relationships.
