Partial improvement in performance of patients with severe Alzheimer's disease at an early stage of fornix deep brain stimulation
Deep brain stimulation is a therapy for Alzheimer's disease (AD) that has previously been used for mainly mild to moderate cases. This study provides the first evidence of early alterations in performance induced by stimulation targeted at the fornix in severe AD patients. The performance of th...
