Sommario/riassunto

An iconoclast in-depth analysis of the current understanding of DBS: efficacy, safety, indications, selection criteria and post-operative management. This book is an epistemic analysis of the presumptions, assumptions and fallacies. It provides the revolutionary potential and the complexity of DBS in changing healthcare delivery; the ethics are discussed in detail.
