Here’s your chance to read and review a Dana Press book before it’s released to the general public.
December’s title is Deep Brain Stimulation: A New Treatment Shows Promise in the Most Difficult Cases, by Jamie Talan:
More than 40,000 people worldwide have undergone deep brain stimulation, which involves implanting electrodes in the brain that are connected to a device similar to a pacemaker. With compelling profiles of patients and an introduction to doctors and scientists who are pioneering the research, Jamie Talan describes the ways in which deep brain stimulation has produced promising results —as well as the ethical issues that arise in the course of this research.
