Abstract:
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an effective way to treat many movement disorders.The volume of tissue activated (VTA) by DBS refers to the region regulated by pulses,which is generated by the electrode contacts.It is associated with the therapeutic effect and side effects;as a result,precise regulation of VTA plays an important role in patient-specific treatment.This article summarizes the factors which affect VTA.
