Official Title: Deep Brain Stimulation for Treatment Resistant Depression: Exploration of Local Field Potentials (LFPs) With the Medtronic Percept PC System

Brief Summary: Of the estimated 30 million Americans who suffer from Major Depressive Disorder, approximately 10% are considered treatment resistant.Deep brain stimulation (DBS) to a region of the brain called the subcallosal cingulate (SCC) is an emerging strategy for treatment resistant depression (TRD), which involves placement of electrodes in a specific region of the brain and stimulating that area with electricity.This is believed to reset the brain network responsible for symptoms and results in a significant…
