Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Feedback:
The most invasive form of brain stimulation involves implanting an electrode directly into the brain. The technique, deep brain stimulation (DBS), is used in end-stage Parkinson's disease for relief of distressing tremors.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
Psychiatric neurosurgery involves the disconnection of brain tissue (referred to as ablation) with the intent of altering affective and behavioral states caused by mental illnesses. Currently, only people with chronic, severe, and disabling psychiatric illnesses that are completely refractory to all conventional therapy are considered for surgery. Several of these procedures have differing targets, such as the cerebral cortex, nuclei, or other pathways that display abnormal physiological activity. The temporal lobe may be the target in intractable epilepsy. Surgical treatment of Parkinson's disease may involve making lesions in the basal ganglia.
