Deep Brain Stimulation: Understanding DBS for Tardive Dyskinesia

So if you had to break down the actual procedure, so in the most simplistic way, right where the baby has a soft spot on their skull, the same spot around those two regions is where it's the easiest access point for neurosurgeons, the brain surgeons, to drill two tiny holes just wide enough to push a wire through.

All they need is two holes just wide enough for a wire, which is that the extension of this, what we call the lead or the deep brain stimulation lead, the electrode is pushed in.
