About
Leo Verhagen is a leading figure in the evolution of deep brain stimulation (DBS), a field he has helped transform through innovations in hardware and surgical technique. His work centers on expanding DBS beyond its traditional role in movement disorders into new frontiers like epilepsy and psychiatry. In his highly cited 2021 review, "New Frontiers for Deep Brain Stimulation," Verhagen masterfully synthesizes the most impactful recent advances, including directional leads for precise stimulation, sensing technologies for closed-loop therapy, and the integration of robotic stereotactic assistance and asleep procedures. This seminal work has garnered 41 citations, serving as a roadmap for clinicians and engineers alike. By championing these technologies—from remote programming to connectomics—Verhagen is not merely refining an existing therapy; he is architecting a more personalized, data-driven, and accessible future for neuromodulation. His contributions are shaping how we treat debilitating neurological and psychiatric conditions, making him a pivotal voice in the next generation of DBS research.
