Brain stimulation for epilepsy

It is estimated that epilepsy affects up to 1% of the world's population, and although many patients derive considerable benefits from antiepileptic drugs or resective surgery, new therapeutic approaches are still needed. In this Viewpoint, William Theodore assesses the potential of techniques that involve direct or indirect electrical stimulation of the epileptic focus.
