I never really heard about Deep Brain Stimulation. The page gives a good understanding of what DBS is and how it can help. I wonder who invented DBS and if other conditions can utilize a pacemaker that alters brain communication. The pacemaker for the brain is also interesting as I have only heard of pacemakers for the heart.

I really enjoyed going through this source. To me, it was short, easily understandable, visually appealing, and even had an accompanying video as a visual aid. The video in particular was especially helpful, as although I had read some articles about DBS at this point, the animation provided in the webpage allowed for a great look at how the treatment works. Even when I had a small problem with how fast the video loaded, the quality was quite nice, and was definitely worth the wait.
