| Description | This comprehensive 1.5 day continuing medical education (CME) program in functional neurosurgery features an outstanding faculty from the Departments of Neurosurgery, Neurology, and Psychiatry at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. The purpose of the course is to provide an update on the multidisciplinary management of psychiatric disease, epilepsy, and movement disorders. There will be specific emphasis on the FDA-approved indications of deep brain stimulation (DBS) as well as emerging indications for DBS, such as depression and epilepsy. Alternative treatments, including peripheral nerve stimulation and noninvasive modulation with transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) will also be discussed. The final didactic segment of the course will briefly review the development of novel neural interfaces for therapeutic interventions. To conclude, we are happy to offer a hands-on component of the course during which attendees will be able to practice DBS programming skills and try to control a cursor using an actual brain-computer interface device |
| Objectives | At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to:
1. To understand indications, outcomes, and risks of deep brain stimulation for movements disorders
2. To understand the postoperative management of patients with deep brain stimulators
3. To review emerging indications for deep brain stimulation, including epilepsy and psychiatric indications
4. To appreciate the multidisciplinary approach to the management of neuropsychiatric disease
