Even with perfect targeting, #DBS electrodes can bend.

On the CNS Journal Club Podcast, Dr. Kim Burchiel interviewed me about my research on how brain tissue mechanics shape electrode paths + deviation.

Intracranial electrode bending is underrecognized but not random—it correlates with brain stiffness interfaces. Our study shows MR elastography can predict deviations, challenging the idea that bending is inevitable.
