Spectroscopy probe could enhance deep brain stimulation procedure for Parkinson’s

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) has become an increasingly common treatment for patients with advanced Parkinson’s disease, but the procedure still carries significant risks. A new probe that performs two types of spectroscopy could make the procedure safer and improve success rates by helping doctors more accurately navigate instruments inside the brain. The research team identified white and gray matter using principal component analysis (PCA), proving that spectroscopic measurements could be suitable for neuronavigation.
