Abstract: Medical electrical lead systems and related methods are described. The medical electrical lead systems may be configured to be at least partially implanted in a body of a subject. Some variations of the medical electrical lead systems may comprise a lead body comprising a proximal end and a distal end and a lumen extending at least partially therebetween, at least one electrode in the proximity of the distal end of the lead body, and a reservoir in fluid communication with the lumen, where the reservoir is located at a position removed from the distal end of the lead body. Certain variations of the medical electrical lead systems may comprise a lead body comprising a proximal end and a distal end and first and second lumens extending at least partially therebetween, and at least one electrode in the proximity of the distal end of the lead body.

Abstract: An implantable medical device is capable of delivering a form of therapy (e.g., electrical stimulation) to a region of the cingulate cortex of a patient's brain to treat a neurological event, condition or disorder, especially an event, condition, or disorder that is psychiatric in nature, such as depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, addiction, schizophrenia, and autism and other developmental disorders. The apparatus is also capable of detecting a signal corresponding to a characteristic of the psychiatric disorder. Methods of using the apparatus are also disclosed.

Abstract: A medical device is capable of delivering a form of stimulation (e.g., electrical stimulation) to a region of the cingulate cortex of the human brain to treat a neurological event, condition or disorder, especially an event, condition, or disorder that is psychiatric in nature, such as depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, addiction, schizophrenia, and autism and other developmental disorders. The device additionally or alternatively may be capable of detecting a biological marker or changes in a biological marker corresponding to the neurological event, condition or disorder. Methods of using the device are also disclosed.

Abstract: An implantable neurostimulator system for treating psychiatric disorders includes scheduled and responsive therapy capabilities including responsive stimulation applied to the cingulate gyrus of the brain. Methods for treating depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, addiction, schizophrenia, and autism and other developmental disorders employ an inventive system to advantageously reduce symptoms and address underlying causes of the disorders.
