          Study: Electric Brain Stimulation Alleviates Some Disorders

   by Greg Flakus

   Modern medicine relies mainly on drugs to cure or alleviate disorders,
   but for some conditions doctors apply electrical stimulation. The
   pacemaker, for example, helps weak hearts maintain a steady beat.
   Scientists are now using electrical pulses in the brain to relieve
   symptoms of Parkinson's disease. And, as VOA's Greg Flakus reports from
   Houston, electrical stimulation may soon be used for a variety of other
   conditions.
