Identity Theft, Deep Brain Stimulation, and the Primacy of Post-trial Obligations
Hastings Cent Rep. 2024 Jan;54(1):34-41. doi: 10.1002/hast.1567.ABSTRACTPatient narratives from two investigational deep brain stimulation trials for traumatic brain injury and obsessive-compulsive disorder reveal that injury and illness rob individuals of personal identity and that neuromodulation can restore it. The early success of these interventions makes a compelling case for continued post-trial access to these technologies. Given the centrality of personal identity to respect for persons, a failure to provide continued access can be understood to represent a metaphorical identity theft. Such a loss recapitulates th...

Enhancing outcomes in deep brain stimulation: a comparative study of direct targeting using 7T versus 3T MRI
CONCLUSIONS: Despite concerns for increased artifacts and distortions at 7T, the authors show that these effects can be mitigated with an appropriate workflow, leading to improved surgical outcomes with direct targeting using 7T MRI. Their results suggest similar accuracy but greater precision in targeting with 7T MRI compared with 3T MRI, resulting in lower stimulation currents and improved tremor reduction. Future studies are needed to assess outcomes related to 7T MRI in targeting other subcortical structures.PMID:38394660 | DOI:10.3171/2023.12.JNS232473 (Source: Journal of Neurosurgery)
