I believe Michael J Fox was among the first to receive a similar experimental treatment for Parkinson's years ago.

Itzhak Fried, a UCLA neurosurgeon who worked on the study, called the hippocampus "the master organ of memory." But he said the greater improvements seen in the memories of patients who got stimulation to the adjacent entorhinal region suggested a new target for treating memory loss.

Not all shocking that the capable Dr. Fried was called upon to participate in the experiment, if you think about it.

So, all the times I stuck my fingers in electrical sockets when I was less that 6 years old explains why my IQ is over 160 and why I remember things Mrs p6 doesn’t. Like all those trips to Paris and cruises when we were first married...

He actually had a pallidotomy. That was a choice he made that precluded DBS for his dystonia like symptoms. The Deep Brain Stimulator (DBS) is very interesting for many reasons. My Wife's practice is the largest referral base for it. The electrical stimulation has thrown a wrench in many disease models and prevailing wisdom.
