[Comment] Multiple-source current steering: a new arrow in the DBS quiver
Since the pioneering work of Benabid and colleagues in the early 1990s,1 deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus has become the treatment of choice for advanced Parkinson's disease complicated by severe motor fluctuations and no longer controlled by dopaminergic drugs. Despite—or possibly because of—its outstanding clinical success, innovation surrounding DBS device technology has been fairly slow, and today's neurostimulators are not fundamentally different from those initially used more than two decades ago.
