Physiological Brain Atlas Development for Neurological Conditions
This observational study aims to create a detailed map, or "atlas," of the brain. This atlas will combine physiological information (how your brain functions) with anatomical locations (where things are in your brain) using MRI scans. The goal is to help doctors better understand and treat conditions like Parkinson's Disease, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Dystonia, Essential Tremor, and Epilepsy. By collecting data from many patients undergoing stereotactic brain procedures (precise brain surgeries), researchers hope to improve how these procedures are performed and how treatments are tailored to individuals. You may be eligible if you are between 6 and 90 years old and are recommended for or have agreed to a stereotactic brain procedure.
- Study design
- This is an observational study with a planned enrollment of 5000 participants. It is not a randomized or blinded study.
- What's involved
- You would participate if you have consented to undergo or have undergone a stereotactic brain procedure. The study involves collecting data during these procedures.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Data will be collected throughout the life of the study to create the brain atlas.
