DBS involves placing mechanically-controlled electrodes in the thalamic region of the brain.. these electrodes release a magnetic field which stimulated surrounding areas of the brain... it has been used for many years to treat movement disorders in Parkinsons patients... its also an experimental treatment for treatment-refractory OCD... and know its being applied to depression!
