Abstract
- This article explains the reasons for putting neurologist Nicholas Schiff on the "Time" magazine list of the 100 most influential people in the world. Schiff pioneered the application of deep brain stimulation, a form of neurosurgery used primarily on patients with Parkinson's disease, to a patient with brain damage. Potential applications of this treatment are described including help for people with severe head trauma.
