First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a personalized approach to deep brain stimulation (DBS) for people with depression that hasn't improved with other treatments. Researchers use brain scans and recordings to find the best spot and settings for each person's implant. The goal is to see if this tailored method can safely reduce depression symptoms and identify brain signals linked to mood.
