Physiological Brain Atlas Development

Description

The NIH grant has funded the development of a physiological brain atlas registry that will allow us to significantly improve the data collectioin and use of physiological data into a normalized brain volume. This initially was used to improve DBS implants for Parkinson's Disease, Dystonia, Essential Tremor, and OCD, but now includes data acquired during all stereotactic brain procedures.

Conditions

Parkinson's Disease, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Dystonia, Essential Tremor, Epilepsy
