Using deep brain stimulation to treat Parkinson’s disease

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an increasingly common procedure for neurological disorders, including Parkinson’s disease. This week's episode of A Grey Matter features Professor Peter Silburn, Director of the Queensland Brain Institute’s Asia-Pacific Centre for Neuromodulation. Professor Silburn is a neurologist and world expert in DBS. He and neurosurgeon Associate Professor Terry Coyne have together performed more than 800 DBS procedures. Professor Silburn discusses Parkinson's disease, DBS, and the wonder of the human brain. A Grey Matter is the Queensland Brain Institute's podcast about neuroscience. CREDITHosted by Kirsten MacGregorProduced and edited by Donna Lu
