Abstract (German)	Deep Brain Stimulation involves the implantation of electrodes to therapeutically stimulate brain regions. It has demonstrated superior outcomes in Movement Disorders and is being studied for other indications like temporal lobe epilepsy in the amygdala. This highly epileptogenic center is also related to anxiety and fear disorders. The project aims to study the use of deep brain stimulation in the treatment of these diseases using sophisticated new device technology.
