Hi,
In response to a query re: Where would one find info
re: DBS and is it backed by peer reviewed papers,
I offer .....

Entrez-PubMed
PubMed, a service of the National Library of Medicine,
provides access to over 11million citations from MEDLINE
and additional life science journals.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov:80/entrez/query.fcgi?SUBMIT=y

To see how this works, please follow along...

Search PubMed for    parkinson
Items 1-20 of 31899

Now, narrow the search.....

Search PubMed for     parkinson AND implant
Items 1-20 of 63

Sixty - three is a good number to scroll through....
(31,899 is obviously too broad)

Scroll down to...
Tasker RR.
Related Articles
Deep brain stimulation is preferable to thalamotomy for tremor
suppression.
Surg Neurol. 1998 Feb;49(2):145-53; discussion 153-4.
PMID: 9457264 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]

This may not be what you're looking for, but I will use it
as an example...

"Click" on  "Tasker RR." to read the abstract...

Now if this interests you, you might wish to click on
"Related Articles".
Ah!! Items 1-20 of 175

One hundred and seventy-five!  All related!

The next thing to do is try other "key" words in the search box...

Try parkinson AND stimulation
1-20 of 2079

Try parkinson AND stereotactic
Items 1-20 of 379

Try parkinson AND thalamic
