DESCRIPTION:Prof Ali Rezai\, Ohio State University\, USA.\nDeep Brain Stim
 ulation (DBS) has been implanted in over 130\,000 patients worldwide to mo
 dulate the motor\, sensory\, cognitive and behavioral networks in patients
  with medication intractable conditions.  This lecture will review the cu
 rrent applications of DBS and examine its use for modulation of cognitive 
 and behavioral deficits.  We will discuss the circuitry and surgical targ
 ets underlying mood\, anxiety\, drive and behavioral function\, and will e
 xplore the role of DBS in obsessive compulsive disorder\, depression\, add
 iction\, and other conditions with behavioral self regulation such as trau
 matic brain injury\, obesity and Alzheimer’s disease.Bio: Dr. Rezai ear
 ned his medical degree with honors from the University of Southern Califor
 nia and underwent neurosurgical training at New York University. He comple
 ted his subspecialty training in functional neurosurgery at the University
  of Toronto and the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm\, Sweden. He then jo
 ined the neurosurgical faculty at New York University Medical Center\, bec
 oming the director of the Center for Functional and Restorative Neurosurge
 ry until January 2000\, when he joined the faculty at the Cleveland Clinic
  Foundation. Dr. Rezai was the director of the Center for Neurological Res
 toration\, as well as the Jane and Lee Seidman Chair in Functional Neurosu
 rgery at the Cleveland Clinic until August 2009\, when he joined the facul
 ty at The Ohio State University in Columbus\, Ohio. He is currently associ
 ate dean of Neuroscience and the director and CEO of the OSU Neurological 
 Institute.\nMore information here.
