The field of brain stimulation is expanding rapidly. Techniques such as deep brain stimulation (DBS), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) arising from the research community are now becoming available for clinical diagnosis and treatment. Clinical application is active in treating such disorders as Parkinson disease, dystonia and even depression. The chapters written by leading international researchers and clinical specialists, includes coverage of techniques, modes of action and applications in physiology and therapeutics. The combination of research and clinical coverage will be of interest to neurologists, neurosurgeons, psychiatrists, neuroscientists, and health care workers. *A comprehensive introduction and overview of deep brain stimulation *Coverage of beep brain stimulation (DBS), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) *Details the basic science and research utility of deep brain stimulation and clinical application
