DBS works by surgically implanting thin electrodes (leads) into deep brain structures. These leads are connected to an , typically placed under the skin near the collarbone. The device delivers a mild electrical current that disrupts pathological, synchronized signals in dysfunctional brain circuits, helping to restore more normal neural activity.

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a neurosurgical procedure that acts as a "pacemaker for the brain" by delivering controlled electrical impulses to specific neural targets . Originally developed in the late 1980s to treat movement disorders, it has evolved into a standard treatment for advanced neurological conditions and is increasingly being investigated for treatment-resistant psychiatric disorders.
