Abstract

A closed-loop or feedback-control system is a process which considers the system's output in order to automatically adjust the input. Compared to a traditional open-loop system, a closed-loop system allows for a higher degree of accuracy with minimal human intervention. Novel methods of closed loop 'adaptive' deep brain stimulation DBS (aDBS) are being developed. This review focuses on the current state of aDBS for various neuropsychiatric conditions: common movement disorders such as Parkinson's disease, dystonia, essential tremor and Tourette syndrome, as well as psychiatric disorders of depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Finally, the future directions of closed-loop neuromodulation treatments are also discussed. Recently, aDBS has been shown to offer benefits compared to open-loop DBS. Understanding the biomarkers of pathological states across various disorders is however crucial to implementation of aDBS, and improved sensing-capable hardware and advances in machine learning are poised to allow its effective implementation.
