Default Trial to Test DBS in Alzheimer's Patients

Patients are still being recruited for the new study started by researchers at Functional Neuromodulation in Toronto. DBS treatment for Alzheimer’s has already been tested in a pilot program involving six patients who had their brains stimulated constantly for one year. These patients showed signs of increased neuron activity.
