We propose an edited volume concerning the gamut of surgical and
device-based treatments for psychiatric disorders. Contributions
will be solicited from multiple authors, representing the leading
experts in the field from the US and around the globe. Paralleling
neuroscience advances regarding the neurobiological underpinnings
of psychiatric diseases, emerging surgical and device-based
treatments can be understood in terms of the brain circuits that
they purportedly modulate. Electroconvulsive Therapy is among the
most tried and true treatments for major depression, though its
mechanism of action remains poorly understood. Transcranial
Magnetic Stimulation, though experimental, is being developed as a
potential therapeutic modality, as it enables brain stimulation via
the non-invasive use of a directed magnetic field. Vagus nerve
stimulation (VNS) is a recently FDA approved surgical treatment for
resistant depression that enables brain modulation via electrical
stimulation of the vagus nerve.
