YouTube Description
as posted by the channelMy guest is Casey Halpern, M.D., Chief of Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery and Professor of Neurosurgery at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Halpern’s research and clinical practice focus on using deep brain stimulation to treat compulsive and movement disorders—for example, binge eating disorder, bulimia, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor and dystonia. We discuss using deep brain stimulation to help patients who suffer from movement and compulsive disorders and its application to patients afflicted with binge eating. We also explore the use of this technology for other conditions such as OCD, anorexia and tremor, and examine future therapeutic directions involving non-invasive brain stimulation approaches, including transcranial magnetic stimulation and ultrasound, for the treatment of other psychiatric illnesses and conditions. This episode will interest those curious about the biology of eating, anorexia, bulimia, compulsive thoughts and behaviors and movement.
