Exploring the Adoption of Implantable Brain Stimulation into Standard of Care for Central Nervous System Disorders : Proceedings of a Workshop

Implantable brain stimulation has had a profound impact on neuroscience research and the treatment of central nervous system disorders by allowing physicians to directly intervene in the pathological neural circuits of their patients. To explore the logistical, educational, and economic barriers to adopting this technology into regular use in clinical care, the National Academies Forum on Neuroscience and Nervous System Disorders hosted a public workshop in October 2023.
