Physiological Brain Atlas Development Study: This study creates a special brain map, called an "atlas," to help doctors treat brain diseases better. Doctors will use MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scans, which are pictures of the brain, to see where diseases affect the brain. The study includes data from patients who have had a procedure called a "stereotactic brain procedure," which is when doctors use tiny instruments to reach specific brain areas. With this atlas, doctors can place devices like DBS (Deep Brain Stimulation) implants more precisely for conditions like Parkinson's Disease or OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder).
- This study needs 5,000 patients from Vanderbilt and other sites.
- Participants must be between 6 and 90 years old and have had or will have a stereotactic brain procedure.
- Data is kept confidential and secure, and participants can opt out anytime.
Doctors and researchers can look at the atlas to understand how to help patients better, and all personal information is kept private. If you are in this study, your data helps make brain care better for everyone!
