Identifying and guiding cortical stimulation sites for application of local nerve control techniques

摘要

The present invention is based on the use of a first focal-neuromodulation technique to assess the ability of the ventromedial prefrontal cortex of the abdomen to include the subgenual and rostral anterior cingulate A method for identifying at least one cortical stimulation site of a subject for application as a target that can be used in the treatment of a mental or neurological disease related to the deep brain region, said method comprising:-applying pulses of a second focal neural control technique to the different cortical areas of the subject;Measuring a psychophysiological signal indicative of the heart rate of the subject relative to the cortical area simultaneously with the application of the pulses in the cortical area,When observing the systematic change of the psychophysiological signal, it is necessary to examine the systemic changes of the psychophysiological signals by using the subnormal and the rostral anterior cingulate to present the target for the treatment, the at least one cortical stimulation site operatively coupled to the deep brain region of the ventromedial prefrontal cortex.;
