Electrical stimulation of the human brain is one of the most exciting chapters in the story of experimental neurobiology. Since the first reported case of brain stimulation in a patient, by Bartholow in 1874, much progress has been made in this field. Today's methods of stimulation are much more subtle, and sophisticated methods for the assessment of the patient's experiences are used, as is shown by the following papers. The object of this issue is to provide an overview of the recent work in this field and to outline the influences it has, or should have, on our functional concepts of the human brain.
对人脑进行电刺激是实验神经生物学史上最令人兴奋的篇章之一。自1874年巴托洛首次报告对一名患者进行脑刺激的病例以来,该领域已取得了很大进展。如今的刺激方法更加精细,并且采用了复杂的方法来评估患者的体验,如下文所示。本期的目的是概述该领域的最新研究工作,并概述其对我们关于人脑功能概念已经产生或应该产生的影响。
