Implantable brain stimulation and its ability to intervene directly in pathological circuits has revolutionized neuroscience research and clinical care for several central nervous system disorders. Despite implantable brain stimulation's increased usage in clinical care, there remains unanswered barriers to adopting implantable brain stimulation into the standard of care across CNS disorders. To better understand the current state of clinical utilization, patient and physician education, and economic considerations, the National Academies’ Forum on Neuroscience and Nervous System Disorders hosted a one-day workshop in October 2023 to explore the challenges and potential pathways forward to advance the field.
