    摘要: An electrical stimulation system (10) is provided for electrically stimulating target nerve tissue in a person's brain using a stimulation lead (14) having a tip electrode (18a), having at least five electrodes (18), or both. The system (10) includes a stimulation lead (14) adapted for implantation into the brain for electrical stimulation of target nerve tissue in the brain. The stimulation lead (14) may include a tip electrode (18a) located at a distal tip (19) of the stimulation lead (14) and adapted to be positioned proximate the target nerve tissue in the brain and to deliver electrical stimulation pulses to the target nerve tissue in the brain. The stimulation lead (14) may include at least five electrodes (18), one or more of which are adapted to be positioned proximate the target nerve tissue in the brain and to deliver electrical stimulation pulses to the target nerve tissue in the brain. The system (10) also includes a stimulation source (12) operable to generate the electrical stimulation pulses for transmission to the one or more electrodes (18), possibly including a tip electrode (18a), of the stimulation lead (14) to cause the one or more electrodes (18) to deliver the electrical stimulation pulses to the target nerve tissue in the brain.
    To be accompanied, when published, with Figure 1a of the drawings.
