Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a surgical therapy that involves the delivery of an electrical current to one or more brain targets. This technology has been rapidly expanding to address movement, neuropsychiatric, and other disorders. The evolution of DBS has created a niche for neurologists, both in the operating room and in the clinic. Since DBS is not always deep, not always brain, and not always simply stimulation, a more accurate term for this field may be electrical neuro-network modulation (ENM). Fellowships will likely in future years evolve their scope to include other technologies, and other nervous system regions beyond typical DBS therapy.
脑深部电刺激术（DBS）是一种涉及向一个或多个脑目标传递电流的外科治疗方法。这项技术已经迅速扩展，以解决运动、神经精神和其他障碍问题。DBS 的发展为神经科医生创造了一个利基，无论是在手术室还是在诊所。由于 DBS 并不总是深部、总是脑部、也不总是简单的刺激，因此这个领域的一个更准确的术语可能是电神经网络调节（ENM）。未来几年，研究员们可能会扩大其范围，纳入其他技术和典型 DBS 治疗以外的其他神经系统区域。
