Hjärnstimuleringar
Hjärnstimuleringar, often translated as brain stimulation, refers to a range of techniques used to modulate neural activity in the brain. These methods can be broadly categorized into invasive and non-invasive approaches. Invasive techniques involve direct physical interaction with brain tissue, such as deep brain stimulation (DBS) where electrodes are surgically implanted to deliver electrical impulses. This is commonly used for conditions like Parkinson's disease and essential tremor.
Non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) methods do not require surgery and are applied externally to the scalp.
The underlying principle of brain stimulation is to alter neuronal firing patterns and neurotransmitter release, thereby
